Question

⎧

Answer 1

Given:

The given expression to find the nth term of the sequence is $d(n)=d(n-1) \cdot (-5)$

The first term of the sequence is $d(1)=8$

We need to determine the third term of the sequence.

Second term:

The second term of the sequence can be determined by substituting n = 2 in the nth term of the sequence.

Thus, we have;

$d(2)=d(2-1) \cdot (-5)$

$d(2)=d(1) \cdot (-5)$

$d(2)=8 \cdot (-5)$

$d(2)=-40$

Thus, the second term of the sequence is -40.

Third term:

The third term of the sequence can be determined by substituting n = 3 in the nth term of the sequence.

Thus, we have;

$d(3)=d(3-1) \cdot (-5)$

$d(3)=-40 \cdot (-5)$

$d(3)=120$

Thus, the third term of the sequence is 120.
