Question

Generalize the pattern by using the nth term, beginning with n=1
16,8,4,2

Answer 1

This is a geometric sequence with common ratio of 1/2.
The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by the formula: \(\large a_n = a_1r^{n-1}\)
where \(\large a_1\) is the first term and \(\large r\) is the common ratio.
