Question

GENIUSES!
The geometric sequence that tells the perimeter of each stage in the building of Koch's snowflake has a first term of 3 and a ratio of 4/3.

At the 18th stage in the construction of this snowflake, the length of each tiny side would be about the size of an atom! Using the explicit formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence, what is the length of the perimeter a18 to the nearest whole number?

Answer 1

Well we have a grometric sequence, the formula for that equals

\[\Huge a_n=a_1r^{n-1}\]

where \[\Large a_n=term~looking~for~~~~a_1=1st~term~~~~r=common~ratio~~\]
\[\Large n=number ~of~terms~\]

Answer 2

nevermind, I got an answer & understanding

Answer 3

thanks @doulikepiecauseidont

Oh, you're welcome

Answer 5

How do you figure out

Answer 6

It's a formula that you use
