Binomial Theorem · Exercise 145

Determine if the sequence is arithmetic, geometric, or neither. If arithmetic, then find the common difference. If geometric, then find the common ratio.

Find $a_{10}$ of the geometric sequence, $1250, 250, 50, 10, 2, \frac{2}{5}, \dots .$ Then find a formula for the general term.
