start with 396 , then subtract 60

Geometric sequence are sequence that increase exponentially. The explicit rule for the given sequence is Tn = [tex]729(0.67)^{n-1}[/tex]

Geometric sequence

Geometric sequence are sequence that increase expoenentially

The nth term of the sequence is expressed as [tex]Tn= ar^{n-1}[/tex]

If the fourth term of the sequence is 216, then;

[tex]T_4 = ar^3\\ar^3 = 216 .......... 1[/tex]

If the sixth tern is 96, then;

[tex]96 = ar^5\\ar^5 = 96 ........... 2[/tex]

Find the ratio

[tex]ar^5/ar^3 = 96/216\\r^2 = 96/216\\r = 0.67[/tex]

[tex]ar^3 =216\\a(0.67)^3 = 216\\0.296a = 216\\a = 729[/tex]

Hence the explicit rule for the given sequence is [tex]Tn =729(0.67)^{n-1[/tex]
