Question

The fourth term of an=(1/2)^n is

Answer 1

Answer:

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

the nth term is

$a_{n} = (\frac{1}{2} )^{n}$

the 4th term is found by substituting n=4

$a_{4} =(\frac{1}{2} )^{4} = \frac{1^{4} }{2^{4} } = \frac{1}{16}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$1/16$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the sequence $a_n=\frac{1}{2}^n$ is used to find the $n$th term of the sequence.

To find the fourth term, substitute $n=4$:

$a_4=\left(\frac{1}{2})\right ^4,\\a_4=\frac{1^4}{2^4}=\boxed{\frac{1}{16}}$
