Find the tenth term in the following geometric sequence. 8, 4, 2, 1, . .a) 13b) 0.0078c) 0.0156d) 12.5

  c)  0.0156

Step-by-step explanation:

The general term a[n] of a geometric sequence is given in terms of the first term a[1] and common ratio r as ...

  a[n] = a[1]r^(n-1)

The given sequence has an initial term of a[1]=8 and a common ratio of 4/8=1/2. Then the general term is ...

  a[n] = 8(1/2)^(n-1)

The 10th term is then ...

  a[10] = 8(1/2)^(10-1) = 8(1/2)^9 = 8/512

  a[10] = 0.015625 ≈ 0.0156

his first public project he is asked to create a small scale drawing. the garden is a right triangle with base 25m and height 30m. are you trying to solve for the last side/hypotenuse? the irrational form of the answer would be 5\sqrt{61}
