what is the true pattern not the simple pattern!
1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125
The pattern is that each successive number is half the previous number. I don't know what you mean by true or simple.
X(1) = 1 is the first term
X(n) = (1/2) X(n-1) is the "pattern"
i don't get it can you tell me what x means
ok i still don't get it
I don't et it will you tell me what x means
To determine the true pattern in the sequence 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, let's analyze each term and see if we can find a relationship.
To find the ratio between consecutive terms, divide each term by its previous term.
1 ÷ 0.5 = 2
0.5 ÷ 0.25 = 2
0.25 ÷ 0.125 = 2
We notice that the ratio between consecutive terms is 2. This suggests that the pattern might involve repeatedly dividing each term by 2.
To confirm this pattern, let's test the next term:
0.125 ÷ 0.0625 = 2
Indeed, dividing each term by 2 produces a ratio of 2 for every consecutive pair of terms.
Therefore, the true pattern in the sequence 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125 is dividing each term by 2.
