Enter a recursive rule for the geometric sequence. 6, −18, 54, −162, ...

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The required recursive formula is:

$a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a geometric sequence as:

6,-18,54,-162,.....

Clearly after looking at different terms of the sequence we could observe that the sequence is an geometric progression (G.P.) with common ratio= -3 denoted by r.

Let $a_n$ represents the nth term of the sequence.

This means that:

$a_1=6, a_2=-18, a_3=54, a_4=-162,......$

As the common ratio is -3.

so,

$a_1=6\\\\a_2=-18=(-3)\times a_1\\\\a_3=54=(-3)\times a_2\\\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}$

Hence, the required recursive formula for the geometric sequence is:

$a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}$

How do I turn 7 over 8 divided by 2 over 5 into a mixed fraction

tangare [24]

7/8 / 2/5 is equal to 7/8 x 5/2 which equals 35/16, 16 goes into 35 twice so there are 2 wholes there is a remaining of 3 so we put it as a fraction over 16
the answer is 2 3/16
