1.2, 3, 7.5, 18.75, ...

Which formula can be used to describe the sequence?

f(x) = 1.2(2.5)x – 1
f(x) = 2.5(1.2)x – 1
f(x) = 1.2(2.5)x
f(x) = 2.5(1.2)x

It's geometric sequence:

[tex]a_1=1.2,\ a_2=3,\ a_3=7.5,\ a_4=18.75,\ ....[/tex]

Calculate the common ratio:

[tex]r=\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\to r=\dfrac{3}{1.2}=2.5[/tex]

The explicit formula of geometric sequence:

[tex]a_n=a_1r^{n-1}\to f(x)=a_1r^{x-1}[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]a_1=1.2,\ r=2.5\\\\f(x)=1.2\left(2.5)^{x-1}[/tex]

Answer: "f(x) = 1.2(2.5)x-1"
