• a_n = 3(-4)^n-1

Which formula is used to find the explicit equation for geometric sequences?

• a_n = a_n-1 + d
• a_n = a_n-1 * r
• a_n = a₁ + d(n-1)
• a_n = a₁ * r^n-1

You have $729 in the bank on Day 1, $243 on Day 2, and $81 on Day 3. Write the explicit formula that expresses the sequence.

• a_n = 729(1/3)^n-1

• a_n = 729(3)^n-1

• a_n = 1/3(a_n-1)

• a_n = 1/3(729)^n-1
