Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
So generally a geometric sequence can be defined as:
which is the explicit form. The r, is what each previous term is being multiplied by to get the next value which is evident in the recursive form:
. Knowing this we can take two values which are "next" to each other to find what r is. In this case I'll just is 1 and 1/4, given these two values we know that:
, 1*r is just r... so what each term is being multiplied by is 1/4. So let's plug the values into the explicit formula:
(I didn't put an a_1 value in front, since it's just 1... so it's a bit redundant). Anyways using this formula we simply plug in 5 as n into the equation to find the 5th term: 
9668
Explanation:
18 ones, 18x1=18
15 hundreds, 15x100 =1500
15 tens, 15x10=150
8 thousands,8x1000=8000
8x1000=800018+1500+150+8000=9668

0.16 gallons of paint are used on each chair. The answer lies between 0 and 1.
Answer:
Since the exponent on 10 is positive, I know they are looking for a LARGE number, so I'll need to move the decimal point to the right, in order to make the number LARGER. Since the exponent on 10 is "12", I'll need to move the decimal point twelve places over.
First, I'll move the decimal point twelve places over. I make little loops when I count off the places, to keep track:
3.6 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
Then I fill in the loops with zeroes:
3.600000000000.
In other words, the number is 3,600,000,000,000, or 3.6 trillion
