We are given the first term and the common ratio, this means they belong to a geometric series.
For the given series:

Each term of the geometric series is obtained by multiplying the previous term by common ratio.
So the next terms will be:
-4.5, -6.75, -10.125, -15.1875, -22.78125
The general formula for the G.P would be:

On plotting the series, the result will be like this:
Answer:
is equivalent to 
Step-by-step explanation:
Using exponent rules:

Given the expression:

⇒
Apply the exponent rule, we have;

Therefore, the given expression
is equivalent to
