Graph the six terms of a finite series where A1=5 and r=1.25

@agent0smith Can you help maybe?

@jdoe0001 can you help?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\large \bf a_1=5, \quad r=1.25 \qquad \qquad a_{\color{red}{ n}}=a_1\cdot r^{{\color{red}{ n}}-1}\implies a_{\color{red}{ 6}}=a_1\cdot r^{{\color{red}{ 6}}-1}\)

I have no idea what to do from then on, I've been stuck on this problem for an hour, literally. :( can you help me a little further from there, or explain it to me please?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so...one of those 4 graphs belongs to the sequence I gather

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm trying to see where the graphs factor in

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

based on the 1st terms and common ratio provided, that is \(\bf a_1=5 \qquad r=1.25 \) that'd be the 6th term of the geometric sequence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it the first graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know it can't be the third one.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well... .... dunno, I am assuming is a geometric sequence, maybe is just something else
