Multiple Choice

- $\frac { 1 } { 7 } , \frac { 1 } { 49 } , \frac { 1 } { 343 } , \frac { 1 } { 2401 } , \ldots$

• A) \(a _ { n } = \frac { 1 } { 7 } + \frac { 1 } { 7 } ( n - 1 )\)
• B) \(a _ { n } = \left( \frac { 1 } { 7 } \right) ^ { n - 1 } - \frac { 6 } { 49 }\)
• C) \(a _ { n } = \frac { 1 } { 7 } - \frac { 6 } { 49 } ( n - 1 )\)
• D) \(\mathrm { a } _ { \mathrm { n } } = \frac { 1 } { 7 } \left( \frac { 1 } { 7 } \right) ^ { n - 1 }\)
