the graph shows the first five terms in a geometric sequence what is the iterative rule for the sequence

algol [13]

The iterative rule for the sequence is a_n = 8 · ( 0.5 )ⁿ ⁻ ¹

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Firstly , let us learn about types of sequence in mathematics.

Arithmetic Progression is a sequence of numbers in which each of adjacent numbers have a constant difference.

$\boxed{T_n = a + (n-1)d}$

$\boxed{S_n = \frac{1}{2}n ( 2a + (n-1)d )}$

<em>Tn = n-th term of the sequence</em>

<em>Sn = sum of the first n numbers of the sequence</em>

<em>a = the initial term of the sequence</em>

<em>d = common difference between adjacent numbers</em>

Geometric Progression is a sequence of numbers in which each of adjacent numbers have a constant ration.

$\boxed{T_n = a ~ r^{n-1}}$

$\boxed{S_n = \frac{a( 1 - r^n ) }{1 - r}}$

<em>Tn = n-th term of the sequence</em>

<em>Sn = sum of the first n numbers of the sequence</em>

<em>a = the initial term of the sequence</em>

<em>r = common ratio between adjacent numbers</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

a₁ = 8

a₂ = 4

a₃ = 2

a₄ = 1

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Firstly , we find the ratio by following formula:</em>

$r = a_2 \div a_1 = 4 \div 8 = 0.5$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>The iterative rule for the sequence:</em>

$a_n = a_1 \cdot~ r^{n-1}$

$a_n = 8 \cdot~ (0.5)^{n-1}$

$\texttt{ }$

Determine if the sequence is geometric. If it is, find the common ratio, the 8th term, and the explicit formula. -2, 6, -18, 54,

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio,r. Considering the given sequence,

r = 6/- 2 = - 18/6 = - 3

Therefore, the sequence is geometric.

The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a = - 2

r = - 3

The explicit formula is

Tn = - 2 × (- 3)^(n - 1)

To find the 8th term, T8,

T8 = - 2 × (- 3)^(8 - 1)

T8 = - 2 × (- 3)^7

T8 = - 2 × - 2187

T8 = 4374
