because if you wright it out a decreases every time. so here is what it would look like a^8, a^7, a^6, a^5, a^4, a^3, a^2, a^1, a^0... it is 8 terms so find the fifth one
OpenStudy (16shuston):
make sense??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry no lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont see how the 4 comes in
OpenStudy (16shuston):
I wish i could show you it would make more sense, but my draw thing doesn't work.. haha but just like the first problem you had, you had to find the 6th term this is the same principle..
