But that's because for 3 the sequence is dividing by 3 not 2.

81, 27, 9, 3, 1, 1/3, 1/9, etc.

3^4, 3^3, 3^2, 3^1, 3^0, 3^(-1), 3^(-2), etc.

You're not always halving, but the method is the same and it sometimes helps people understand the concept more easily.

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
