Answer:

<h2>g is a GEOMETRIC SEQUENCE</h2><h2>Explicit formula g(n) = 900(\frac{1}{3})^{n-1}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If wanahton purified a portion of water with 900 grams of contaminants and each hour, a third of the contaminants was filtered out then the amount of grams filtered out first hour will be 1/3 of 900grams = 300grams.

The amount filtered out in the second hour will be 1/3 of 300grams = 100grams.

Given the initial amount of contaminant = 900g

Contaminant after 1st hour = 300g

contaminant after 2nd hour = 100g and so on

It is seen that the amount of contaminant keep reducing by one third each hour. The sequence formed will be 900, 300, 100... which is a GEOMETRIC SEQUENCE because they are reducing by the same factor each term which is 1/3.

Given the geometric sequence 900, 300, 100...the nth term of the sequence is expressed as shown;

g(n) = ar^{n-1}

r is the common ratio = \frac{300}{900}= \frac{100}{300} =  \frac{1}{3}

n is the umber of terms

a is the first term which serves as the initial value of the contaminant= 900

Substituting the values given to get the explicit formula for the sequence we have;

g(n) = 900(\frac{1}{3})^{n-1}

The amount of contaminants (in grams) that remained by the beginning of the nth hour is 900(\frac{1}{3})^{n-1}
