If the 1st term of the geometric sequence is 1/4 and the common ratio is 2, then find the third term using the recursive method

Answer 1

To find the nth term of a geometric sequence, use the formula

g_n = g₁r^n-1

for this case, r = 2, g₁= 1/4, and n= 3

g₃= (1/4)2^3-1

I'll leave it to you to finish the computation.
