Find the first five terms of the geometric sequence with the given first term and common ratio
-$\mathrm{a}_{1}=8, \mathrm{r}=-6$
A) $-48,288,-1728,10,368,-62,208$
B) $8,2,-12,-10,-16$
C) $8,-48,288,-1728,10,368$
D) $8,48,288,1728,10,368$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first term is 8, and each subsequent term is found by multiplying the previous term by the common ratio -6. So, the sequence is $8, 8(-6) = -48, -48(-6) = 288, 288(-6) = -1728, -1728(-6) = 10,368$.
