Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there is no single number we can add to one number in the sequence to get to the next one, this is not arithmetic. That means it's geometric, if it's a sequence at all. To get from 2 to 6 we multiply by 3. To get from 6 to 18 we multiply by 3. To get from 18 to 54 we multiply by 3. Therefore, this is in fact geometric and the common ratio is 3. The standard form of a geometric explicit formula is
where n is the position of a number in the sequence, a1 is the first number in the sequence, and r is the common ratio. We have then
a1 = 2 and r = 3. Therefore, the explicit formula is
and you can use this to find the value of any number in the sequence. Very handy; much more so than the recursive formula, which requires that all the numbers in a sequence be found in order in order to get to a desired value.

Step-by-step explanation:
n>3
Answer:
5,376 m³
Step-by-step explanation:
cube - 16x16x16=4096
pyramid = 16x16x15/3=1280
4096+1280=5376
Answer:
<h2>3 + 4(n - 1)</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
let r be the common differenc of the sequence
Term 12 - Term 7 = (12 - 7)r
then
47 - 27 = 5r
then
20 = 5r
then
r = 4
term 7 = term 1 + (7 - 1)r
then
27 = term 1 + 6r = term 1 + 24
then
Term1 = 27 - 24 = 3
<em><u>therefore </u></em>
the standard explicit formula of the sequence is :
term 1 + (n - 1)r = 3 + 4(n - 1)
