Question

Find an explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence.

Answer 1

Answer: -4 . 2ⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation: This is a geometric progression

the nth term is given by arⁿ⁻¹

a = the first term of the sequence

r = common ratio

n=  number of terms

for this sequence

a = -4

r = -8/-4 = 2

nth term, an = -4 . 2ⁿ⁻¹
