question 222

Multiple Choice

Find the fifth term and the nth term of the geometric sequence whose initial term, a, and common ratio, r, are given.
- $$a = 1 ; r = \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$

• A) \(a _ { 5 } = \frac { 1 } { 16 } ; a _ { n } = 1 \cdot \left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } \right) ^ { n - 1 }\)
• B) \(a _ { 5 } = \frac { 1 } { 32 } ; a _ { n } = 1 \cdot \left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } \right) ^ { n - 1 }\)
• C) \(a _ { 5 } = \frac { 1 } { 32 } ; a _ { n } = 1 \cdot \left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } \right) ^ { n }\)
• D) \(a _ { 5 } = \frac { 1 } { 16 } ; a _ { n } = 1 \cdot \left( \frac { 1 } { 2 } \right) ^ { n }\)
