Answer to Problem 3OE

The formula for nth term of geometric sequence is tn=4(13)(3)n .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Sequence:

  4,12,36,108,....

Formula used:

  tn=t1rn1

Where,

  t1 = first number

  r= ratio between any two terms.

Calculation:

Consider the sequence 4,12,36,108,....

Put the values in the following formula,

  tn=t1rn1 ,

Where,

  t1=4r=3

So, the result is, tn=4(3)n1

Now simplify the 4(3)n1

So, raise the 3 to, each power separately and then multiply.

  tn=4(3)1(3)n

Then with the help of reciprocal of the number,

  (3)1=13

Now replacing (3)1 with 13 , them simplify by multiplying 4 by 13 to get final answer.

  (3)1=13tn=4(13)(3)n

So, the formula is tn=4(13)(3)n .
