    The explicit formula is Tn = 18[ (2/3) ^ (n-1) ]

    Where n is the term we are looking for

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here, we want to get an explicit formula to model the equation

    Now, F (2) = 2/3 * f1 = 2/3 * 18 = 12

    F (3) = 2/3 * f (2) = 2/3 * 12 = 8

    F (4) = 2/3 * F (3) = 2/3 * 8 = 16/3

    F (5) = 2/3 * 16/3 = 32/9

    Thus, seeing how the equations are progressing, we can definitely see a pattern.

    That is Tn = (2/3) ^ (n-1) (18)
