Answer:

Option E

Step-by-step explanation:

Explicit formula of a geometric sequence is,

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

Here, [tex]a_1=[/tex] First term

[tex]r=[/tex] common ratio

[tex]n=[/tex] number of terms

If, [tex]a_1=18[/tex] and [tex]a_2=9[/tex]

Common ratio of the sequence [tex]r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}[/tex]

[tex]r=\frac{9}{18}[/tex]

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

By substituting these values in the formula,

[tex]T_n=18(\frac{1}{2} )^{n-1}[/tex]

Therefore, Option E is the answer.
