Write the first four terms of the geometric sequence with the given first term, a1, and common ratio, r.
-$$a _ { 1 } = - 5 ; r = 4$$
A) $- 5 , - 1,3,7 , \ldots$
B) $- 5 , - 20 , - 80 , - 320 , \ldots$
C) $- 20 , - 80 , - 320 , - 1280 , \ldots$
D) $- 5,20 , - 80,320 , \ldots$

The first term is $-5$. Each subsequent term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by the common ratio $r = 4$. Thus, the sequence is $-5, -20, -80, -320, \ldots$.
