What is the explicit formula for this gemoetric sequence 8 4 2 1

  an = 8·(1/2)^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first value is a1 = 8 and the common ratio is r = 1/2, so the formula is ...

  an = a1·r^(n-1)

  an = 8·(1/2)^(n-1)

  an = 2^(4-n) . . . . . . more compact version

i dont know but hope u do

step-by-step explanation:

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.
