2. What is the rule for the following sequence: 8, 4, 2, 1…?
an = a1 – 4(n – 1), a1 = 8
an = a1 * (1/2)(n-1), a1 = 8
an = a1 + 4(n – 1), a1 = 8
an = a1 * 2(n-1), a1 = 8

5. You start with $.50 at the beginning of the year. This amount doubles every month. How much will you have at the end of the 12th month? Careful: You have been asked to find the amount at the END of the month!! Begin by writing the rule for the sequence.
