Question

How do you write the first five terms of the sequence `a_n=(1/2)^n`?

Answer 1

The first five terms are `1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32`.

Explanation:

Remember that the first term is `n = 1`.

`a_1 = (1/2)^1 = 1/2`

`a_2 = (1/2)^2 = 1/4`

`a_3 = (1/2)^3 = 1/8`

`a_4 = (1/2)^4 = 1/16`

`a_5 = (1/2)^5 = 1/32`

Hopefully this helps!
