Find an equation for the nth term of the sequence. (1 point) -3, -12, -48, -192, ... an = 4 -3n + 1 an = -3 4n - 1 an = -3 4n an = 4 -3n 6. Find an equation for the nth term of a geometric sequence where the second and fifth terms are -21 and 567, respectively. (1 point) an = 7 (-3)n + 1 an = 7 3n - 1 an = 7 (-3)n - 1 an = 7 3n

nth?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh this is easy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3 is the first term in the sequence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a1=-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an = a1 + (n - 1)d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n= 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nah the first term for the second one is 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so an = -3 4n - 1??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Niguyver

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It could be C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[T_{n} = ar^{n -1} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the equation for geometric

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have for the 2nd term −21=ar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the 5th term 567=ar^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, this is for 1st question write?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no 2nd one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this can be written as 567=ar×r^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

substitute the information from the 2nd term 567=−21×r3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an = 7 3n?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got c could be wrong though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an = 7 (-3)n - 1 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea I did get C but I could be wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, that's fine :) Thank you so much
