Answer:

a)  a_n=5\,\,(2)^{n-1}

b)  b_n=100\,\,(\frac{1}{2} )^{n-1}

c)  c_n=160\,\,(-\frac{1}{2} )^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

a)  Geometric sequence with first term 5 and common ratio 2, where the nth term can be calculated via:

a_n=5\,\,(2)^{n-1}

The first five terms are: a_1=5;\,\,\,a_2=10;\,\,\,a_3=20; \,\,\,a_4=40;\,\,\,a_5=80

b) Geometric sequence with first term 100 and common ratio 1/2, where the nth term can be calculated via:

b_n=100\,\,(\frac{1}{2} )^{n-1}

The first five terms are: a_1=100;\,\,\,a_2=50;\,\,\,a_3=25; \,\,\,a_4=12.5;\,\,\,a_5=6.25

c)  Geometric sequence with first term 160 and common ratio -1/2, where the nth term can be calculated via:

c_n=160\,\,(-\frac{1}{2} )^{n-1}

The first five terms are: a_1=160;\,\,\,a_2=-80;\,\,\,a_3=40; \,\,\,a_4=-20;\,\,\,a_5=10
