Which is the general term of the geometric progression \(100,20,4,\frac{4}{5},\ldots\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(a_n=100\cdot\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{n-1}\)
The first term is (100) and the ratio is \(\frac{1}{5}\) so \(a_n=100\cdot\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{n-1}\). In exams use the fractional ratio in a decreasing sequence.
