What is the first term in a geometric sequence if the common ratio is − 2 and the sum of the first six terms is −105?

Serggg [28]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}
\\\\
S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
r=-2\\
n=6\\
S_6=-105
\end{cases}$

$\bf -105=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-(-2)^6}{1-(-2)} \right)\implies -105=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-(64)}{1+2} \right)
\\\\\\
-105=a_1\left( \cfrac{-63}{3} \right)\implies -105=a_1(-21)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-105}{-21}=a_1\implies 5=a_1$

-17, 2, 21, 40, … is an arithmetic sequence.<br><br> True<br><br> False

Wewaii [24]

False

A arithmetic sequence is a sequence that has a difference of 2. We see that we have -17 ... and then we have 2 ... and then 21. There is NOT a difference of 2, as we can see. Therefore, yiur answer would be (false).
