Answer:

b_n=-18\cdot 4^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first term in a sequence is b_1=-18 and each term after the first is 4 times the preceding term, then the second term is

b_2=b_1\cdot 4=-18\cdot 4,

the third term is

b_3=b_2\cdot 4=-18\cdot 4\cdot 4=-18\cdot 4^2,

the fourth term is

b_4=b_3\cdot 4=-18\cdot 4^2\cdot 4=-18\cdot 4^3,

...

the nth term is

b_n=b_{n-1}\cdot 4=...=b_1\cdot 4^{n-1}=-18\cdot 4^{n-1}
