The correct answer is C) t₁ = 375, 
.
From the general form,
, we must work backward to find t₁.
The general form is derived from the explicit form, which is
. We can see that r = 5; 5 has the exponent, so that is what is multiplied by every time. This gives us
Using the products of exponents, we can "split up" the exponent:
We know that 5⁻¹ = 1/5, so this gives us
Comparing this to our general form, we see that
Multiplying by 5 on both sides, we get that
t₁ = 75*5 = 375
The recursive formula for a geometric sequence is given by
, while we must state what t₁ is; this gives us

First, we can see that there are four sides, and none of these equation contradict each other, so it is safe to say that <em>this is a quadrilateral</em>.
Second, all of the equations have the slope of <em>0 or undefined</em>, so it is a rectangle.
Lastly, the four points of intersection shows us that the side lengths are <em>3 and 5</em> units, so the area of it is 15 units².
