Solution
Here the first term = -2
5th term = -1/8
Now we have to find the common ratio (r)
Fifth term A5 = -1/8
-1/8 =
Here
Plug in in the fifth term and find the value of r.
-1/8 = -2
Taking 4th root, we get
r =
Now let's find the second term.
first term *r = -2 *1/2 = -1
2nd term = -1
3rd term = second term * 1/2 = -1 * 1/2 = -1/2
4th term = 3rd term *r = -1/2 *1/2 = -1/4
Thank you :)
