Question

Which of the following is the explicit rule for a geometric sequence defined by

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

What you wrote is not the same thing as what the question is, or at least I don't think so. I'll answer the printed question.

First of all, the 13 is what separates each of the terms. In other words 7 is the first term. 13 must be raised to the n - 1 power.

It is written like this

an = 7 * 13^(n - 1)

you want a1 to be 7. The only way that can happen is if 13^0 which gives you 1.

So the correct answer is C
