a geometric sequence is a bunch of numbers where you can get from a number to the next number by multiplying the previous number by a certain number

might be confusing so here's an example

1,2,4,8,16

each term is multiplied by 2 to get next term, that number that each term is multiplied by is called the common ratio

formula for geometric sequence is

a_n=a_1(r)^{n-1}

where a_n is nth term

a_1 is first term

r is teh common ratio

n=which term


in our example

1,3, 9, 27, 81

each term is being multiplied by 3 so it is a geometric sequence and thus r=3

also first term is 1 so a_1=1

so the formula is a_n=1(3)^{n-1} or in function notation f(n)=1(3)^{n-1}

Which point is on the line of the equation y-4 = -1/2 (x - 2) ?
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

4.0148 rounded to the nearest thousand is 0, but if you meant rounded to the nearest thousandth, it would be 4.015 because the 8 in the ten thousandth column would cause the 4 in the thousandth column to round up to 5.
