12(-1/2) to the exponent n-1

Answer:

\(a_n=12 (-0.5)^{n-1}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given geometric sequence ,

12, -6, 3, ...........

First term, a = 12,

Common ratio,

\(r = \frac{-6}{12}=-0.5\)

Since, the explicit formula of a Geometric sequence is,

\(a_n=ar^{n-1}\)

Hence, the explicit formula of the sequence is,

\(a_n=12 (-0.5)^{n-1}\)
