Answer:
Hence the explicit rule is a(n) 1184.625 *(2/3)^n.
Step-by-step explanation:
Geometric sequences are of the form a * b^x, where a and b are real constants.
We have a * b⁴ = 234 and a * b⁶ = 104.
Dividing the second equation by the first,
we get b² = 4/9, so b = 2/3.
When x = 4, a * b⁴ = 234.
=> a * (2/3)⁴ = 234, a = 1184.625
Hence the explicit rule
is a(n) = 1184.625 * (2/3)^n.
If a number is <u>negative</u> then the number is less than its absolute value.
19 BUT BACK IN 2015 OR 2011 IR 2013 ITS TO BE 21 AS A JOKE IT USED TO BE VERY FUNNY LIKE WANT 9 PLUS 10 21 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
x=1/40
1/4 :100= 25 so x: 1000 is just figureing out what amout 25 is of 1000
