Question

Write an explicit formula for an the nth term of sequence 100,20,4

Answer 1

a_3=4

Explanation:

a1 = 100

r = 1/5

an = 100 (1/5)^(n - 1)

so we now have the answer for a_3

a_3 = 100 * (1/5)^(3 - 1)

a_3 = 100 * (1/5)^2

a_3 = 100 * 1/25

a_3 = 4

i believe this is it, although i'm not entirely sure

good luck :)
