    This is a geometric sequence since there is a common ratio between each term. In this case, multiplying the previous term in the sequence by

    2.1

    gives the next term. In other words,

    a

    n

    =

    a

    1



    r

    n

    -

    1

    .

    Geometric Sequence:

    r

    =

    2.1

    This is the form of a geometric sequence.

    a

    n

    =

    a

    1

    r

    n

    -

    1

    Substitute in the values of

    a

    1

    =

    5

    and

    r

    =

    2.1

    .

    a

    n

    =

    (

    5

    )



    (

    2.1

    )

    n

    -

    1

    Remove parentheses around

    2.1

    .

    a

    n

    =

    5



    2.1

    n
