Question

anonymous · Answer

Do you know where to start?

anonymous · Answer

wel, isn't 1 the initial?
So would I start with 1 and multiply is by 1/(√2) and continue?

anonymous · Answer

Yup. You just need to know how many you need to do before you have to stop.

anonymous · Answer

I got (√2)/2 but that isn't an answer choice?

anonymous · Answer

Well what math got  you a √2 on the top? and what are your answers?

anonymous · Answer

I used my calculator.

anonymous · Answer

Well what are the answers you have to choose from?

anonymous · Answer

The only ones that start with one go to 1, 1/(√2), 1/2, 1/(2√2), 1/4
and 1, √2, 2, 2√2, 4 and 1, 2/1/2, 2, 2/3/2, 4.

anonymous · Answer

Well if your multiplying by 1/√2 you already know the first and second term of the sequence which is...

anonymous · Answer

uhm....Idk. I keep getting 2/√2

anonymous · Answer

Your first number is going to be 1
and then you multiply your 1st value by r [1/(√2)] to get your 2nd value
and then you multiply your 2nd value by r your 3rd value
Can't you do it by hand?
