Given:
The sequence is:
8, 4, 2, 1,...
Required:
Find a recursive formula for the given sequence.
Explanation:
The given sequence is:
8, 4, 2, 1,...
The common ratio of the sequence is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2} \\ \frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \\ \frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]Since the common ratio for the given series is 1/2.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{T_{n+1}}{T_n}=\frac{1}{2} \\ T_{n+1}=\frac{1}{2}T_n \end{gathered}[/tex]Final Answer:
The recursive formula for the given sequence is
[tex]T_{n+1}=\frac{1}{2}T_{n}[/tex]
