Question
Find the 5th term and the nth term of the geometric sequence whose initial term $a_{1}$ and common ratio $r$ are given.$a_{1}=-2 ; \quad r=4$
Step 1
Step 1: The nth term of a geometric sequence can be found using the formula $a_{n} = a_{1} \cdot r^{(n-1)}$, where $a_{n}$ is the nth term, $a_{1}$ is the first term, and $r$ is the common ratio. Show more…
