So basically... you divide the 3 to 2 and that's how you get the decimal. The decimal is... 0.666666666667
Answer:Multiply the given fraction (in base 10) with 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
an = a(n-1) - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
the second term is smaller than the first term 7.
a20 = a19 - 7
a19 = a18 - 7
=> a20 = (a18 - 7) - 7
Then you can accumalate until a1
-> a20 = a1 - 19*7 = 86 - 19*7 = -47
Answer:
an=1*2.5^(n-1)
=2.5^(n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete question below:
What value, written as a decimal, should Lena use as the common ratio? Lena is asked to write an explicit formula for the graphed geometric sequence. On a coordinate plane, 3 points are plotted. The points are (1, 1), (2, 2.5), (3, 6.25).
Solution
Point (1, 1), (2, 2.5), (3, 6.25).
a=1
ar=2.5
ar^2=6.25
From ar and ar^2
r=6.25/2.5
=2.5
r=2.5
an=ar^(n-1)
Therefore, the explicit formula is
an=1*2.5^(n-1)
=2.5^(n-1)
