    Mr Brian, You could have found a14 in another way too. Since you found r=1/2, you can use the usual formula, a14= a1* r^13 ,, to get the final answer, 1000/8192 = 0.1221

  • @manjotsihra8645
    @manjotsihra8645 6 лет назад +1

    I found it easier to just find the 1st term by dividing the 4th term by 1/2, then taking that number and dividing it by 1/2, and doing this until I reach the first term. It didn't take that long to do either, because of its simple division. I then used the 1st term in the formula and it got me to the same answer.
