Algebraic expression: 4n + 8 = 5
Answer: 2 x -1 = -2. -2 + 2 =0
The correct answer is:
b.) f(n) = 3 • (-2)^(n-1)
Further explanation:
Given sequence is:
3, -6, 12, -24, ...
We have to find the common ratio first.
Common ratio is the ratio between two consecutive terms of a geometric sequence.
It is denoted by r.
So,

General formula for geometric sequence is:

Putting the values of a1 and r

Hence,
The correct answer is:
b.) f(n) = 3 • (-2)^(n-1)
