The general term for the sequence 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, . . . is

Nuetrik [128]

We are given

sequence is 2 , 4 , 8 ,16 , 32 , .....

Firstly , we will check whether it is geometric sequence

Checking geometric sequence:

We will find common ratio between successive terms

and then we check whether they are equal

r1=(second term)/(first term)

$r_1=\frac{4}{2}=2$

r2=(third term)/(second term)

$r_2=\frac{8}{4}=2$

r3=(fourth term)/(third term)

$r_3=\frac{16}{8}=2$

r4=(fifth term)/(fourth term)

$r_4=\frac{32}{16}=2$

we can see that all four ratios are same

$r_1=r_2=r_3=r_4=2$

so, this is geometric sequence

Calculation of general term:

We got

common ratio is

$r=2$

Let's assume

number of terms is n

first term is 2

$a_1=2$

now, we can use formula

$a_n=a_1 (r)^{n-1}$

we can plug values

and we get

$a_n=2(2)^{n-1}$

$a_n=2^1(2)^{n-1}$

$a_n=(2)^{n-1+1}$

$a_n=(2)^{n}$ ..................Answer

if a pound of grapes cost $0.14 in 1960 and the price of grapes increased at the same rate as the CPI from 1960 to 1980 by appro

masya89 [10]

The CPI increased from 29.6 to 82.4.

The rate of increase, is:

82.4/29.6 = 2.78

Now multiply this rate to the $0.14 price of grapes from 1960.

$0.14 x 2.78 = $0.39

Now to get the amount of increase subtract the new price from the original price:

$0.39 - $0.14 = $0.25 increase.
