In a geometric sequence, a2=2, a3=16, and a4=128. Which equation can be used to find the nth term of the sequence, an?

an=8⋅2n−1

an=2n−1

an=14⋅8n−1

an=2⋅14n−1

an = 1/4(8)^n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following in a geometric sequence, a2=2, a3=16, and a4=128.

nth term of a sequence = ar^n-1

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

r = a3/a2 = a4/a3

r = 16/2 = 128/16

r = 8

a2 = ar

2 = 8a

a = 2/8

a = 1/4

The nth term by substituting the parameters will be;

an = 1/4(8)^n-1

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.

whole number data type

step-by-step explanation:

as whole number type represents whole number

like 1, 2 ,3, 4

in other words the whole numbers are those numbers which cannot be written infraction.

since we can take days as a whole number i.e 1 day 2 day and we cannot write 1.2 day hence we will use whole number data type
