Since one piece is four time the length <em>x, </em>we can represent that as 4x.

Thus making the equation:

4x+x=275

5x=275

x=55

4(55)=220

220+55=275

So, the length of the longer piece is 220 inches, and the length of the shorter piece is 55 inches.

What is the explicit formula for this geometric sequence with recursive formula
Nonamiya [84]

C

generate the first few terms using the recursive formula

a_{2} = - 7 × \frac{1}{3} = - \frac{7}{3}

a_{3} = - \frac{7}{3} × \frac{1}{3} = - \frac{7}{9}

a_{4} = - \frac{7}{9} × \frac{1}{3} = - \frac{7}{27}

r = a_{2} / a_{1} = \frac{1}{3}


the n th term formula (explicit ) for a geometric sequence is

a_{n} = a_{1}r^{n-1} = - 7(\frac{1}{3})^(n - 1)
