Answer:

The Recursive Formula for the sequence is:

\:a_n=\frac{1}{5}\left(a_{n-1}\right)     ; a₁ = 125

Hence, option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r'.

The formula for the nth term of the geometric sequence is

a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}

where

aₙ is the nth term of the sequence

a₁ is the first term of the sequence

r is the common ratio

We are given the explicit formula for the geometric sequence such as:

a_n=125\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{n-1}

comparing with the nth term of the sequence, we get

a₁ = 125

r = 1/5

Recursive Formula:

We already know that

  • a₁ = 125
  • r = 1/5

We know that each successive term in the geometric sequence is 'r' times the previous term where 'r' is the common ratio.

i.e.

a_n=ra_{n-1}

Thus, substituting r = 1/5

\:a_n=\frac{1}{5}\left(a_{n-1}\right)  

and a₁ = 125.

Therefore, the Recursive Formula for the sequence is:

\:a_n=\frac{1}{5}\left(a_{n-1}\right)     ; a₁ = 125

Hence, option D is correct.

How Do I do proofs for proving triangles?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
You must have been taught postulates and theorems that allow you to prove triangles congruent, such as SSS, SAS, ASA, etc. Look at the given information of a proof, and see how from the given information, using definitions, postulates, and theorems you have already learned, you can show pairs of corresponding sides and angles to be congruent that will fit into the above methods. Then use one of the methods to prove the triangles congruent.

If an oxygen atom has 8 protons and 10 neutrons in its nucleus, what is its atomic number? 10 8 not enough information to calcul
Elina [12.6K]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. If an oxygen atom has 8 protons and 10 neutrons in its nucleus, then its atomic number would be 8. The atomic number is <span>the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Hope this answers the question.</span>
