write an equation to decribe the sequence below. use n to represent the position of a term in the sequence, where n=1 for the first term
10,-20,40
write your answer using decimals and integers
The given sequence is 10, -20, 40.
To find a general equation for this sequence, we need to determine the pattern or rule that generates each term.
If we observe the sequence, we can see a pattern where each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by -2.
So, the general equation for this sequence can be described as:
Term(n) = (Term(n-1)) * (-2)
Using decimal and integers:
Term(n) = (Term(n-1) * -2)
Please note that we cannot directly determine a specific term's value using only the given sequence. However, this equation describes how each term relates to the previous term using multiplication.
