Answer: 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the sequence {5, 10, 20, 40, 80, ... }
the first term (a₁) is 5
the second term (a₂) is 10
the third term (a₃) is 20
the fourth term (a₄) is 40
the fifth term (a₅) is 80
Answer:
[tex]a_{3}[/tex] = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term in the sequence = 5
the second term = 10
the third term = 20
the fourth term = 40 and the fifth term = 80
In general the terms in the sequence can be denoted by [tex]a_{n}[/tex]
where n represents the position of the term in the sequence
[tex]a_{1}[/tex] denotes the first term
[tex]a_{2}[/tex] denotes the second term
[tex]a_{3}[/tex] denotes the third term and so on
Here [tex]a_{3}[/tex] = 20
