Answer:
a) aₙ = 4.(2)^n-1
b) aₙ = 2+3(n-1)
c) aₙ = 3+4(n-1)
d) aₙ = 3.(4)^n-1
Step-by-step explanation:
a) a geometric sequence with first term of 4 and a common ratio of 2
aₙ = ar^n-1
where a is the first term and r is the common ratio
aₙ = 4.(2)^n-1
Comparing with the standard form:
1st term = 4
Common ratio = 2
b) an arithmetic sequence with a first term of 2 and a common difference of 3
The standard form of arithmetic sequence is:
aₙ = a₁ + d(n-1)
where a₁ is the first term and d is the common difference
Given: aₙ = 2+3(n-1)
Comparing with standard equation
First term = 2
Common difference = 3
c) an arithmetic sequence with a first term of 3 and a common difference of 4
The standard form of arithmetic sequence is:
aₙ = a₁ + d(n-1)
where a₁ is the first term and d is the common difference
Given: aₙ = 3+4(n-1)
Comparing with standard equation
First term = 2
Common difference = 3
d) a geometric sequence with first term of 3 and a common ratio of 4
aₙ = ar^n-1
where a is the first term and r is the common ratio
aₙ = 3.(4)^n-1
Comparing with the standard form:
1st term = 3
Common ratio = 4
