What is the explicit formula for this sequence? 2, 10, 50, 250, 1250, ...
O A. an = 2(5)(n-1)
O B. an = 5(2)(n-1)
O C. a, = 2 + (5)"
O D. an = 2(5)"

O D. an = 2(5)"

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression/sequence below

2, 10, 50, 250, 1250, ...

O D. an = 2(5)"

The explicit formula is C

a0= 2*5^0= 2

a1=2*5^1= 10

a2= 2*5^2= 50

a3=2*5^3= 250

a4=2*5^4= 1250

or

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:

⇒

⇒ ⇒

factorizing, we get that:

  ⇒

then, the solutions are: or
