Answer:
a1=2 and r=-1
Explanation:
"A geometric series is a series with a constant ratio between successive terms".
Here, we can observe that the first term 'a' is '2'.
And the common ratio 'r' =
Therefore, the first term 'a' is 2 and common ratio 'r' is '-1'.
compound interest equation for annually compounded

A=final amount
P=principal
r=rate in decimal
t=time in years
given that
A=1550
P=1000
r=5.5%=0.055
find t

divide both sides by 1000

take ln of both sides

use ln rule 

divide both sides by ln(1.055)

using a calculator, we get that t=8.18544 yrs
so about 8.2yrs
