Step-by-step explanation:
We have the sequence
{
−
16
,
4
,
−
1
,
⋯
}
By looking at the first three terms of the sequence, we can already see a pattern.
Starting at -16, each term has its sign reversed, and is divided by 4.
Hence the sequence can be written as:
{
−
16
,
−
16
(
−
1
4
)
,
−
16
(
−
1
4
)
2
,
⋯
}
So the formula for the
n
th term of the sequence is
a
n
=
−
16
(

)
n
,
n
=
{

⋯
}

Step-by-step explanation:
Put -2 where x is in the function and do the arithmetic. Any number of calculators will compute this for you.
x ≈ 0.23781036584 ≈ 0.2

<em>Comment on the above result</em>
The number above came from the Google calculator (2nd attachment). Surprisingly, it is rounded incorrectly in the last displayed digit. To 20 significant digits, the value is ...
