Answer:
an = 1/4 * an-1
a1 = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2, 1/2, 1/8, 1/32
To find the common ratio, take the second term and divide by the first term
1/2 ÷ 2
1/2 * 1/2
1/4
The common ratio is 1/4
1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8 and 1/8 *1/4 = 1/32
The first term is a1 so a1 = 2
an = the common ratio * an-1
an = 1/4 * an-1
Answer:
Below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The common ratio = 1/2 / 2 = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4.
Also 1/8 / 1/2 =2/8 = 1/4 and 1/32 / 1/8 = 1/32 * 8 = 1/4
an = 1/4 * an-1 is the answer.
