Question

Which represent the first three terms of the sequence: a1=2 and an=3(an−1)2 ? {"version":"1.1","math":"a1=2 and an=3(an-1)2 ?"} Question 1 options: 2, 12, 27 3, 12, 27 2, 12, 432 3, 12, 432 Save

Answer 1

an-1 would be the previous term
so I think you have

`a_n=3(a_(n-1))^2`
so each term is squared then multiplied by 3 to get next term

2^2=4, 4*3=12
12^2=144, 144*3=432

so the first 3 tesrms are
2,12,432
