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

Make a change of coordinates:
The Jacobian for this transformation is
and has a determinant of
Note that we need to use the Jacobian in the other direction; that is, we've computed
but we need the Jacobian determinant for the reverse transformation (from
to 
. To do this, notice that
we need to take the reciprocal of the Jacobian above.
The integral then changes to
