What is the explicit formula for the geometric sequence with this recursive formula?


Answer:
A an = -3 * (1/8) ^ (n-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the first term a1 = -3
And the common ratio r = 1/8 from the an = an-1 * 1/8
The explicit formula is
an = a1 r^ (n-1)
an = -3 * (1/8) ^ (n-1)
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
a₁ = -3 ------> first term
r ----> common ratio
[tex]a_{n}=a_{n-1}*\frac{1}{8}\\\\r=\frac{1}{8}\\\\a_{n}=a_{1}*r^{n-1}\\\\a_{n}=-3*(\frac{1}{8})^{n-1}[/tex]
