These are the first six terms of a sequence with a = 2:
1 answer:
Answer:
= 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Note there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms of the sequence, that is
r = 18 ÷ 2 = 162 ÷ 18 = 1458 ÷ 162 = 13122 ÷ 1458 = 9
A recursive formula allows a term in the sequence to be found by multiplying the previous term by the common ratio, that is
= 9
with a₁ = 2
