nth term for the geometric sequence 4,8,16,... is $a_n=4(2)^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write an equation for the nth term of the geometric sequence: 4, 8, 16 . . .

The formula to find the nth term of geometric sequence is

$a_n=a_1r^{n-1}$

Where a_n is nth term

a_1 is 1st term

and r is common ratio

Finding a_1 and r in the sequence 4,8,16,...

$a_1=4\\r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}\\r=\frac{8}{4}\\r=2$

So, common ratio r is: 2 and a_1 is 4

The nth term is:

$a_n=4(2)^{n-1}$

So, nth term for the geometric sequence 4,8,16,... is $a_n=4(2)^{n-1}$

Desenhe em uma folha dois quadrados de lado 1dm. Trace uma diagonal em cada um e recorte-os

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The given question is

<em> Draw two 1 dm squares on a sheet of paper. Draw a diagonal on each one and cut them out.</em>

<em />

So, you need to draw square with sides of 1 dm. However, first, you need to transform from dm to cm.

We know that 1 decimenter (dm) equals 10 centimeters (cm).

That means the square sides are 10 centimerers long. So, you need to draw two squares like the first image attached shows.

Then, to draw their diagonals, you need to draw a line segment from one corner to its opposite corner, you should have an inclined line acroos each square. As the second image attached shows.

There you have it. Two squares of 1 dm side with on diagonal each.
