Question

Suppose the first term of a geometric sequence is multiplied by a nonzero constant, c. What happens to the following terms in the sequence? What happens to the sum of this geometric sequence? (This question has one right answer.) Give an example of a geometric sequence to illustrate your reasoning. (Many answers are possible.)

Answer 1

The next  terms in the sequence will be multiplied by c, but the common ratio is still the same

example :

S = [1(3)^4 - 1]/ [3-1]  = 80/2 - 40

Hope this helps
