Guided Practice

A recursive formula for a geometric sequence is given. What is an explicit formula for this sequence?

a1=100an=12 · an−1a subscript 1 baseline equals 100 line break a subscript n baseline equals one-half times a subscript n minus 1 baseline


A.
an=12 · 100n−1a subscript n baseline equals one half times 100 superscript n minus 1 baseline


B.
an=100 · (12)n−1a subscript n baseline equals 100 times left parenthesis one half right parenthesis superscript n minus 1 baseline


C.
an=100+(12)n−1a subscript n baseline equals 100 plus left parenthesis one half right parenthesis superscript n minus 1 baseline

Answer: The Answer IS Either Letter B Or Letter C

B.

an=100 · (12)n−1a subscript n baseline equals 100 times left parenthesis one half right parenthesis superscript n minus 1 baseline

Step-by-step explanation: I Think The Answer IS Letter B

Simplify the matrix.

a = 100 ,

a n = 12 a n − a ,

1 ,

100 ,

n , − h a l f ,

n ,

1
