The explicit formula is given as [tex]T_n=-6(\frac{1}{4} )^{n-1}[/tex]

Geometric and recursive functions

The general explicit formula for a geometric sequence is expressed as:

  • [tex]T_n=ar^{n-1}[/tex]

Given the following recursive functions:

[tex]a_1=-6\\ a_n=a_{n-1}\cdot\frac{1}{4} [/tex]

Get the next two terms:

[tex]a_2=a_{1}\cdot\frac{1}{4} \\ a_2=-6\cdot\frac{1}{4} \\ a_2=\frac{-3}{2} [/tex]

For the third term:

[tex]a_3=a_{2}\cdot\frac{1}{4} \\ a_3=\frac{-3}{2} \cdot\frac{1}{4} \\ a_3=\frac{-3}{8} [/tex]

The common ratio for the sequence will be [tex]\frac{1}{4} [/tex]

The explicit formula is given as [tex]T_n=-6(\frac{1}{4} )^{n-1}[/tex]
