Answer:

[tex]f(n) = \frac{1250}{11}(11)^n[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(n) = 1250(11)^{n-1}[/tex]

Required

Write as exponential function

An exponential function is represented as:

[tex]f(n) = ab^n[/tex]

[tex]f(n) = 1250(11)^{n-1}[/tex]

Apply law of indices

[tex]f(n) = \frac{1250(11)^n}{11}[/tex]

[tex]f(n) = \frac{1250}{11}(11)^n[/tex]

The above represents the exponential function

The exponential function for the sequence in which the explicit formula for the geometric sequence is f(n)=1250(11)^n-1, is f(n)=(1250/11)(11)ⁿ.

What is a geometric sequence?

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the next term is obtained by multiplying the previous term with the same number for the whole series.

The explicit formula geometric sequence is given as,

[tex]f(n)=a(r)^{n-1}[/tex]

Here, a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

The explicit formula for a certain geometric sequence is,

[tex]f(n)=1250(11)^{n-1}[/tex]

Compare it with the above equation, we get,

a = 1250

r  =  20

The form of the exponential function is,

[tex]f(n) = \dfrac{a}{r}(r)^n[/tex]

Put the values,

[tex]f(n)=\dfrac{1250}{11}(11)^n[/tex]

Thus, the exponential function for the sequence in which the explicit formula for the geometric sequence is f(n)=1250(11)^n-1, is f(n)=1250/11)(11)ⁿ.
