what is the explicit formula of
NOW . 3 = Next
answer: y=______blank____________
thanks!
If you start with a value of "a" then
y(n) = a*3^(n-1)
To find the explicit formula for a given sequence, we need to understand the pattern between the terms. In this case, let's break down the given sequence.
NOW . 3 = Next
The sequence seems to involve multiplying the current term by 3 to obtain the next term. To represent this as a formula, we can use the variable "n" to denote the sequence term number.
The first term in the sequence is represented by n = 1, the second term by n = 2, and so on. Therefore, the terms can be written as:
Term 1: NOW
Term 2: NOW * 3
Term 3: (NOW * 3) * 3
Term 4: ((NOW * 3) * 3) * 3
and so on.
To generalize this pattern, we can write the formula:
y = NOW * 3^(n-1)
In this formula, y represents the term at position n, NOW is the initial term, and 3^(n-1) accounts for the multiplying factor of 3 in each term.
So, substituting the appropriate values, the explicit formula for this sequence would be:
y = NOW * 3^(n - 1)
Note: To make this formula complete, you need to provide the value of NOW that is used in the sequence.
