ANSWER

[tex]a_ {10} = \frac{25}{32} [/tex]

EXPLANATION

The given geometric sequence is

400, 200, 100...

The first term is

[tex]a_1=400[/tex]

The common ratio is

[tex]r = \frac{200}{400} = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

The nth term is

[tex]a_n=a_1( {r}^{n - 1} )[/tex]

We substitute the known values to get;

[tex]a_n=400( \frac{1}{2} )^{n - 1} [/tex]

[tex]a_ {10} =400( \frac{1}{2} )^{10 - 1} [/tex]

[tex]a_ {10} =400( \frac{1}{2} )^{9} [/tex]

[tex]a_ {10} = \frac{25}{32} [/tex]
