Question

Im not sure if the answer i got are right
someone help
The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by an= 1/4^(4)n-1 . Write the first five terms of this sequence.

Answer 1

a1=1/4
a2=1
a3=4
a4=16

I feel like i got these wrong can someone help

Answer 2

and a5=64

Answer 3

Hmmm... Well
\[a _{n}=\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }^{4n-1}\]

is that correct @Isabelle99 ?

Answer 4

or is it.......
\[a ^{n}=\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }(4)^{n-1}\]
because that'd make more sense

Answer 5

If so: the sequence is
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }, 1, 4, 16, 64\]
& you're right :D

Answer 6

thanks

Answer 7

NP :D Always happy to help out

Answer 8

I didn't even see you previous answer yes thats what i meant to put

Answer 9

Okay.. well than it's different

Answer 10

If
\[a _{n}=\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }^{4n-1}\]
The sequence is:

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }^3,\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }^7,\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }^{11},\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }^{15},\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }^{19}...\]

Answer 11

no it was the first one you said

Answer 12

my bad
