Answer:

b)  a_{n} = (-3)4^{n-1}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  -3, -12, -48, -192, ...

To find : find an equation for the nth term of the sequence.

Solution : We have given  -3, -12, -48, -192, ...

Nth term of geometric sequence = a_{n} = a_{1}r^{n-1}.

Where, a_{n}= nth terms.

a_{1}= first term.

r = common ratio.

r = \frac{second term}{first term}

r =  \frac{-12}{-3} .

r = 4.

a_{n} = (-3)4^{n-1}.

Therefore,b)  a_{n} = (-3)4^{n-1}.
