Answer:

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 11 [tex](2)^{n-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

the nth term of a geometric sequence is

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ [tex](r)^{n-1}[/tex]

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

given a₁ = 11 and a₄ = 88 , then

11 r³ = 88 ( divide both sides by 8 )

r³ = 8 ( take cube root of both sides )

r = [tex]\sqrt[3]{8}[/tex] = 2 , then the nth term is

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 11 [tex](2)^{n-1}[/tex]
