Answer: graph E.


A geometric sequence can be written as:

a_{n} = a_{1} \cdot r^{(n - 1)}

where:

a₁ = first term = 4

r = ratio = 0.5


Substituting the numbers, we have:

a_{n} = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}

or else

f(x) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{x - 1}


This is an exponential function with base less than 1. Therefore, we can exclude graph C (which depicts a linear function), and graphs A and D (which depict an exponential function with base greater than 1).


In order to choose between graph B and E, let's evaluate the function in two different points:

f(1) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{1 - 1} = 4

f(2) = 4 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^{2 - 1} = 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 2


Therefore, we need to look for the graph passing through the points (1, 4) and (2, 2). That is graph E.
