(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 4ST

The formula for nth term for the geometric sequence 48,24,12,6,..., is tn=(48)(12)n1 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  48,24,12,6,...,

Formula used:

Common ratio: r=tn1tn

Geometric progression: tn=t1rn1

Calculation:

Consider the sequence as:

  a1=48a2=24a3=12a4=6

Now, the common ratio is calculated as:

  r=a2a1=2448=12r=a3a2=1224=12r=a4a3=612=12

Now, the nth term is calculated as:

  tn=t1rn1tn=(48)(12)n1

(b)

To determine

To calculate:

The value of t10 term for the geometric sequence 48,24,12,6,...,

(b)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 4ST

The value of t19 term for the geometric sequence 48,24,12,6,..., is 0.09375 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  48,24,12,6,...,

Calculation:

The nth term formula from sub-part (a):

  tn=(48)(12)n1

Here, n=10

  t10=(48)(12)101t10=(48)(12)9t10=0.09375
