Answer:
a_n=(3)/(2^n)

Explanation:

1. To find the rule of the sequence shown in the problem, you can observe the change that occurs from a number to the other number:

- The numerator does not change.

- The denominator increases twice in each number.

2. Then, the formula is:


a_n=(3)/(2^n)

Where
n=1,2,3,4...

3. The ratio of the geometric sequence is 2, and you can obtain it by dividing the term
(a_((n+1)))/(a_n)
