= 2a - 1
2() = 2(2a - 1) <em>multiplied both sides by 2 </em>
ab = 4a - 2 <em>distributed the 2 on the right side</em>
ab - 4a = -2 <em>subtracted 4a from both sides</em>
a(b - 4) = -2 factored out "a" from the left side
a = <em>divided (b - 4) on both sides</em>
Answer: a =
Answer:
Option (B)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given sequence is 45, 135, 405, 1215, 3645..........
Since it's a geometric sequence,
Common ratio of each successive term to the previous term
r =
First term of the sequence 'a' = 45
Explicit formula of a geometric sequence will be,
Recursive formula of this sequence will be,
,
Therefore, Option (B) will be the answer.
