Find an explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sphinxa [80]2 years ago
7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

in a geometric sequence there is a constant factor x that is multiplied with every previous term to create the next one.

a2 = 20

a5 = 1280 = a2×x×x×x = a2×x³ = 20x³

64 = x³

x = 4

=> a1 = 5

therefore

an = an-1×4 =

a1 \times  {4}^{n - 1}

n > 1

If y varies directly as x, and y is 20 when x is 4, what is the constant of variation for this relation?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = k*x                    This is the formula for a direct variation.

  • y = 20
  • x = 4                        Substitute these values into the direct variation

20 = 4 * k                        Divide by 4

20/4 = 4k/4

k = 5

Answer: the constant of variation is 5
