Question

Graph the first six terms of a sequence where a1=5 and r=1.25

Answer 1

The sequence above is geometric progression.
The nth term of such sequence is given by;

Tn = ar∧(n-1),
Where a⇒first term and
r⇒common ratio

So, 1st term = 5×1.25∧(1-1) = 5×1.25∧0 =5
2nd term = 5×1.25∧(2-1) = 5×1.25 = 6.25
3rd term = 5×1.25∧(3-1) = 5×1.25² = 7.8125
4th term = 5×1.25∧(4-1) =5×1.25³ = 9.765625
5th term = 5×1.25∧(5-1) = 5×1.25∧4 = 12.20703125
6th term = 5×1.25∧(6-1) = 5×1.25∧5 = 15.25878909
