Question

Write an

explicit formula for
then
th
an.
term of the sequence 45, 15,5. ....

Answer 1

The sequence above is a geometric sequence

For an nth in a geometric sequence

`u(n) = a {r}^(n - 1)`

where n is the number of terms

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

From the question

a = 45

r = 15 / 45

The explicit formula for the sequence is

U(n) = 45(1/3)^n-1

Hope this helps you
