OpenStudy (welshfella):

generalexplicit formula for nth term of a GS is a1r^(n-1) wher a1 = first term and r = common ratio you can find r by dividing the second term by the first term

OpenStudy (welshfella):

so here r = -0.06 / 0.2

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

@lilkg77 are you here again please ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

from these choices for n=1 where you get a_1 = 0,2 like a little help attention that for n=1 the second term has exponent zero what mean - what ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Have you already figured it out

OpenStudy (lilkg77):

No @Daniel56k

OpenStudy (lilkg77):

Sorry @jhonyy9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright i got u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now am 100% sure that you know the formula for A.P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[nth=a(n-1)d\]

OpenStudy (lilkg77):

Yes i know the formula @Daniel56k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a= first term d= change in first and second term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am a 9th grader am use to breaking things down...am very sorry lets just go straight to the point if you are cool with that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[a _{n}=ar ^{n-1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

formula for geometric sequence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you with me

OpenStudy (lilkg77):

Yes @Daniel56k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay to find r which is called common ratio or what ever you think it is just divide the first term from the second term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you with me
