Write the explicit formula

Mathematics
1 answer:
Margaret [11]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is no single number we can add to one number in the sequence to get to the next one, this is not arithmetic. That means it's geometric, if it's a sequence at all. To get from 2 to 6 we multiply by 3. To get from 6 to 18 we multiply by 3. To get from 18 to 54 we multiply by 3. Therefore, this is in fact geometric and the common ratio is 3. The standard form of a geometric explicit formula is

A_n=a_1(r)^{n-1 where n is the position of a number in the sequence, a1 is the first number in the sequence, and r is the common ratio. We have then

a1 = 2 and r = 3. Therefore, the explicit formula is

A_n=2(3)^{n-1 and you can use this to find the value of any number in the sequence. Very handy; much more so than the recursive formula, which requires that all the numbers in a sequence be found in order in order to get to a desired value.

netineya [11]
Yes. Since the first digit is the same look at the next digit, the second. Determine which of the second digits are larger. Although they use all the same digits, that does not mean that the digits are in the same order. The only digit that is clarified that is in the same spot is the first one, so you look at the next one
