Find an explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence. 2, -8, 32, -128, ...

1 answer:

8 0

A1=2
a2=-8
a3=32
a4=-128

a2/a1=(-8)/2→a2/a1=-4
a3/a2=32/(-8)→a3/a2=-4
a4/a3=(-128)/32→a4/a3=-4

a2/a1=a3/a2=a4/a3=r=-4

an=a1*r^(n-1)
an=2*(-4)^(n-1)

The explicit rule for the nth term of the given sequence is an=2*(-4)^(n-1)

seropon [69]

If Bobby claims Peter started with 21 cards, then we'll work this into our equation.

21 - 3 (that he lost) = 18
18 / 2 (the half he gave) = 9

So this means that he did have 21 cards to begin with. Please reply to this with a list of the answers that can/could be checked!
