Answer:

an = 1/2 (4)^ (n-1)

a6 = 512

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a geometric sequence is

an = a1 (r)^(n-1)

where an is the term of the sequence

a1 is the initial term of the sequence

r is the ratio

and n is the term number

We know a1 = 1/2 and r =4

I will assume that x=6 means we want to know the 6th term

an = 1/2 (4)^ (n-1)

We want to find the 6th term

a6 = 1/2 * 4^(6-1)

a6 = 1/2 * 4^5

a6 = 512

Drupady [299]

Answer:

5b = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Abdul bought b books and Debra bought 5 times as many books as Abdul, then 5b represents the number of books Debra bought. Since we know that Debra bought 20 books, we can write an equation to represent that: 5b = 20.

(Abdul bought 4 books in that case)
