How do you find the indicated term of the geometric sequence where #a_1=4096#, r=1/4, n=8? Precalculus Sequences Geometric Sequences 1 Answer Ratnaker Mehta Feb 21, 2017 #a_8=1/4.# Explanation: The General #n^(th)# Term #a_n# of a Geom. Seq. is given by, #a_n=a_1r^(n-1), n in NN.# In our Example, #a_1=4096, r=1/4, n=8.# #:. a_8=(4096)(1/4)^(8-1)=4096/4^7=4^6/4^7.# #:. a_8=1/4.# Answer link Related questions What is meant by a geometric sequence?
