The 8th term of 40,10, 5/2, 5/8

looks like 1/4=r

40*(1/4)^1=10
40*(1/4)^2=5/2
40*(1/4)^3=5/8
40*(1/4)^7= 1.90734863e-5

To find the 8th term of the given sequence, we need to determine the pattern of the sequence and then calculate the 8th term based on that pattern.

Looking at the sequence 40, 10, 5/2, 5/8, we can observe that each term is obtained by dividing the previous term by 4.

Let's calculate the 8th term step by step:

1st term: 40
2nd term: 40 / 4 = 10
3rd term: 10 / 4 = 5/2
4th term: (5/2) / 4 = 5/8
5th term: (5/8) / 4 = 5/32
6th term: (5/32) / 4 = 5/128
7th term: (5/128) / 4 = 5/512
8th term: (5/512) / 4 = 5/2048

Therefore, the 8th term of the given sequence is 5/2048.

To find the 8th term of the given sequence, we need to identify the pattern or rule governing the sequence. Let's look at the sequence:

40, 10, 5/2, 5/8, ...

Observing the pattern, we can see that each term is obtained by dividing the previous term by 4. For example:

10 / 4 = 5/2
(5/2) / 4 = 5/8
...

To continue this pattern, we continue dividing by 4:

(5/8) / 4 = 5/32
(5/32) / 4 = 5/128

Therefore, the 8th term of the sequence is 5/128.
