Hey guys I need help with this no links and please explain your work

x = 0.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

First, take the ln of both sides:

ln(1/16) = ln(8^(4x-2))

You can now bring down (4x-2) in front of the ln:

ln(1/16) = (4x-2)ln(8)

ln(1/16)/ln(8) = 4x-2

4x = ln(1/16)/ln(8) + 2

x = ln(1/16)/4ln(8) + 1/2

x = 0.17

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .
