Question

Find the 9th term geometric sequence 1,1/2,1/2^2w. Please show the steps.

Answer 1

9th term geometric sequence (a9) = 1 / 256

Explanation:

Given:

Geometric sequence 1,1/2,1/2²

First term (a) = 1

Common ratio (r) = A2 / A1 = (1/2) / 1 = 1/2

Number of term (n) = 9

Find:

9th term geometric sequence (a9)

Computation:

`an = ar^(n-1)`

a9 = ar⁹⁻¹

a9 = (1)(1/2)⁸

a9 = (1/2)⁸

a9 = 1/256

9th term geometric sequence (a9) = 1 / 256
