Answer: 96 / 4 ^n-1

Explanation:

This is a geometric sequence with a first term of 96. The common ratio is the division of the 2nd term by the first term. This will be:

24/96 = 1/4

a = 96

r = 1/4

The formula will be:

ar ^n-1

= 96 × (1/4)^n-1

The concluding part is explained in the attached file.
