Question

Find the 8th term of the geometric sequence 7,28,112,...

Answer 1

Answer:

114,688

Step-by-step explanation:

the previous term is multiplied by 4 to get the next term.if you continue with this sequence you would eventually get 114 688

Answer 2

Given that the sequence is gemoetric, you must find R.

R is equal to any given term divided by the term before it.

112/28 = 4

28/7 = 4

This sequence multiplies by 4 every time

I assume yall start at s1 not s0, so simply make an equation that multiplies by 4 every time that s increases

$s(n) = 7*4^{n-1}$

plug in 8

$s(8) = 7 * 4^{7} \\= 114,688$
