Answer:

  • an = 2·(4/5)^(n-1)
  • 2, 8/5, 32/25, 128/125

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of an infinite geometric series is ...

  S = a1/(1 -r)

where r is the common ratio. The sum will only exist if |r| < 1.

The problem statement tells us S = 10 and a1 = 2, so we have ...

  10 = 2/(1 -r)

  r = 1 -2/10 = 4/5

So the n-th term of the series is ...

  an = a1·r^(n-1)

  an = 2·(4/5)^(n-1)

For values of n = 1 to 4, the terms are ...

  2, 8/5, 32/25, 128/125
