You must do work presented inside parentheses first. Thus, do this first: (-5-7).
The first term, a, is 2. The common ratio, r, is 4. Thus,
a_(n+1) = 2(4)^(n).
Check: What's the first term? Let n=1. Then we get 2(4)^1, or 8. Is that correct? No.
Try this instead:
a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1). Is this correct? Seeking the first term (n=1), does this formula produce 2? 2*4^0 = 2*1 = 2. YES.
The desired explicit formula is a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1), where n begins at 1.
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Because I think it is
So..... 14 + 3= 17. I think. I mean, this is what I got from what I understand.
