Concept explainers
To summarize how to find a specific term of a geometric sequence.
Answer to Problem 42HP
Plug the values of first term a , common ratio r and number of term n in geometric sequence explicit formula.
Explanation of Solution
We know, the geometric sequence explicit formula is given by
where a is the first term, r is the common ratio and n is the number of term of a geometric sequence.
In order to find a specific term of a geometric sequence, we just need to plug the values of first term a , common ratio r and number of term n in above formula and simplify.
