its similar to mx + b where x is the variable but for the AS the variable is n.

Hayhayz (hayhayz):

linear

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes it is Now for a geometric expression nth term is a1r^(n-1) which has a variable exponent n-1

Hayhayz (hayhayz):

exponential

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes That it basically.

Hayhayz (hayhayz):

Oh for real? haha thanks
