13–20. Explicit formulas Write the first four terms of the sequence { aₙ }∞ₙ₌₁. 
aₙ = 1/10ⁿ

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the general term of the sequence given by the explicit formula \(a_n = \frac{1}{10^n}\), where \(n\) is the term number starting from 1.
To find the first term \(a_1\), substitute \(n=1\) into the formula: \(a_1 = \frac{1}{10^1}\).
To find the second term \(a_2\), substitute \(n=2\) into the formula: \(a_2 = \frac{1}{10^2}\).
To find the third term \(a_3\), substitute \(n=3\) into the formula: \(a_3 = \frac{1}{10^3}\).
To find the fourth term \(a_4\), substitute \(n=4\) into the formula: \(a_4 = \frac{1}{10^4}\).

Sequences and Terms

A sequence is an ordered list of numbers defined by a specific rule. Each number in the sequence is called a term, denoted as aₙ, where n indicates the term's position. Understanding how to identify and write terms from a given formula is fundamental.

Explicit Formula for a Sequence

An explicit formula defines the nth term of a sequence directly in terms of n, allowing calculation of any term without knowing previous terms. For example, aₙ = 1/10ⁿ means each term is the reciprocal of 10 raised to the nth power.

Exponentiation and Powers of 10

Exponentiation involves raising a base number to a power, indicating repeated multiplication. Powers of 10 are especially important in sequences, as 10ⁿ means 10 multiplied by itself n times, affecting the size and pattern of the terms.

16–17. {Use of Tech} Periodic savings

Suppose you deposit m dollars at the beginning of every month in a savings account that earns a monthly interest rate of r, which is the annual interest rate divided by 12 (for example, if the annual interest rate is 2.4%, r = 0.024/12 = 0.002). For an initial investment of m dollars, the amount of money in your account at the beginning of the second month is the sum of your second deposit and your initial deposit plus interest, or m + m(1 + r). Continuing in this fashion, it can be shown that the amount of money in your account after n months is


Aₙ = m + m(1 + r) + ⋯ + m(1 + r)ⁿ⁻¹.


Use geometric sums to determine the amount of money in your savings account after 5 years (60 months) using the given monthly deposit and interest rate.
