Write the explicit formula for the sequence. 27,18,12,8

a(n) = 27*(2/3)^(n - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first four terms are 27, 18, 12, 8.

Find the common ratio:

To do this, let that ratio = r, and write and solve 27r = 18.  Thus, r = 2/3.

The general explicit formula for this sequence is

a(n) = a(1)*(2/3)^(n - 1), or, since a(1) = 27, a(n) = 27*(2/3)^(n - 1)
