Answer:

6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term in this sequence is the previous term divided by -2:

104/-2=-52

-52/-2=26

26/-2=-13

So in order to find the next term, we just need to divide the last term by -2:

-13/-2 = 6.5

The next term in the sequence is 6.5

Choose the explicit and recursive formulas for the geometric sequence 45, 135, 405, 1215, 3645, .... PLEASE HELP ASAP

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is 45, 135, 405, 1215, 3645..........

Since it's a geometric sequence,

Common ratio of each successive term to the previous term

r = $\frac{135}{45}=3$

First term of the sequence 'a' = 45

Explicit formula of a geometric sequence will be,

$a_n=a(r)^{n-1}$

$a_n=45(3)^{n-1}$

Recursive formula of this sequence will be,

$a_n=3(a_{n-1})$ , $a_1=45$

Therefore, Option (B) will be the answer.
