Math Problem Statement
What is 10th term of geometric sequence 8,4,2,1,...?
Solution
To find the 10th term of a geometric sequence, you can use the formula:
where:
- is the -th term of the sequence,
- is the first term,
- is the common ratio,
- is the term number.
Given:
- ,
- The common ratio ,
- .
Now, plug in the values:
So, the 10th term of the sequence is .
