given the geometric sequence 19,38/3, 76/9,.... .find the an explicit formula for a^n
Added by Christina C.
Step 1
In this sequence, 19, 38/3, 76/9, ..., we can find the common ratio by dividing any term by the previous term. Let's divide the second term by the first term: \[ \frac{38/3}{19} = \frac{38}{57} = \frac{2}{3} \] Show more…
