Question
Find the indicated term of each sequence.The fifth term of the geometric sequence whose first term is 8 and whose common ratio is $-3$
Step 1
Step 1: The formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence is given by $a_n = a_1 \times r^{(n-1)}$, where $a_n$ is the nth term, $a_1$ is the first term, $r$ is the common ratio, and $n$ is the term number. Show more…
