Respuesta :

Using a geometric sequence, the formula for the number of kilograms of fruit sold on the nth day is:

[tex]f(n) = 5(3)^{n - 1}[/tex]

What is a geometric sequence?

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the result of the division of consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio q.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

[tex]a_n = a_1q^{n-1}[/tex]

In which [tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term.

For this problem, the first term and common ratio are given as follows:

[tex]a_1 = 5, q = 3[/tex]

Hence the function can be written as:

[tex]f(n) = 5(3)^{n - 1}[/tex]
