Write a formula for the general term (the nth term) of each arithmetic sequence. Then use the formula for \(a_{n}\) to find \(a_{20}\), the 20 th term of the sequence. \(a_{1}=9, d=2\)
Find the indicated term for the geometric sequence with first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). Find \(a_{4}\), when \(a_{1}=4, r=-3\).
Write a formula for the general term (the nth term) of each geometric sequence. Then use the formula for \(a_{n}\) to find \(a_{7}\), the seventh term of the sequence. \(1.5,-3,6,-12, \ldots\)
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. The sequence for the number of seats per row in our movie theater as the rows move toward the back is arithmetic with \(d=1\) so people don't block the view of those in the row behind them.
Find the indicated term for the geometric sequence with first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). Find \(a_{30}\), when \(a_{1}=8000, r=-\frac{1}{2}\).
