The wording of this question is a bit confusing... You can't write a sequence in sigma notation, but rather a series or sum. I think the question is asking you to write the sum of the sequence,
which would be
in sigma notation.
To do this, notice that the denominator in each term is a power of 2, starting with and ending with
. So in sigma notation, this series is
Answer:
OPTION B: 162, 486, 1458
Step-by-step explanation:
The given sequence is 2, 6, 18, 54, . . .
It is a geometric sequence and the common difference is 3.
The general form of a geometric sequence is: a, ar, ar², ar³, . . .
Here a = 2 and r = 3.
term of a Geometric progression is
.
Note that the fourth term is 54.
i.e.,
.
Similarly, .
Also, .
Hence, OPTION B is the answer.
