First, we inspect what type of sequence is the order of the coordinates:
a2 = 1
a3 = 2
a4 = 4
Getting the difference,
a3 - a2 = 1
a4 - a3 = 2
The differences are not equal; hence, the sequence is not arithmetic.
Getting the ratio:
a3/a2 = 2
a4/a3 = 2
The common ratio is 2. Using the general form for a geometric series:
an = a1 r^(n-1)
If n = 2
1 = a1 (2)^(2-1)
a1 = 1/2
So,
an = (1/2) (2)^(n-1)
The answer is the first option.
Answer:
x <2
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5 – 1.2x < 6.5 – 3.2x
Add 3.2x to each side
2.5 – 1.2x+3.2x < 6.5 – 3.2x+3.2x
2.5 +2x < 6.5
Subtract 2.5 from each side
2.5+2x-2.5<6.5-2.5
2x<4
Divide by 2
2x/2 < 4/2
x <2
