Answer:

a_n=100 \left(\dfrac15\right)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of geometric sequence:  a_n=ar^{n-1}

Given:

  • a₁ = 100
  • a₂ = 20
  • a₃ = 4

\implies a_1=a=100

\implies a_2=100 \cdot r=20

\implies a_3=100 \cdot r^2=4

Common ratio:

r=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=\dfrac{4}{20}=\dfrac15

Therefore:

a_n=100 \left(\dfrac15\right)^{n-1}
