The first three terms of a sequence are given. Round to the nearest thousandth (if necessary).
29,58,116,...
Find the 10th term.

Respuesta :

Answer:

14848

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the terms of a geometric sequence with n th term

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a[tex]r^{n-1}[/tex]

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

here a = 29 and r = 58 ÷ 29 = 116 ÷ 58 = 2, hence

[tex]a_{10}[/tex] = 29 × [tex]2^{9}[/tex] = 29 × 512 = 14848

The first term of the sequence is 29 and the common ratio is 2. Then the tenth number of the sequence is 14,848.

What are sequence and series?

A sequence is a list of elements that have been ordered in a sequential manner, such that members come either before or after.

Given

The first three terms of a sequence are shown.

29, 58, 116, and so on.

The sequence can be represented as

[tex]\rm 29*2^1, 29* 2^2, \ and \ so \ on[/tex]

This can be generalized as

[tex]\rm a_n = 29*2^{n-1}[/tex]

Where 29 is the first term and 2 is the common ratio.

The 10th term will be

[tex]\rm a_{10} = 29*2^{10-1}\\\\a_{10} = 29*2^{9}\\\\a_{10} = 29*512\\\\a_{10} = 14848[/tex]

Thus, the tenth term of the sequence is 14,848.
