8p² - 16p = 10
8p² - 16p - 10 = 0 Divide through by 2
4p² - 8p - 5 = 0
Multiply first and last coefficients: 4*-5 = -20
We look for two numbers that multiply to give -20, and add to give -8
Those two numbers are 2 and -10.
Check: 2*-10 = -20 2 + -10 = -8
We replace the middle term of -8p in the quadratic expression with 2p -10p
4p² - 8p - 5 = 0
4p² + 2p - 10p - 5 = 0
2p(2p + 1) - 5(2p + 1) = 0
(2p + 1)(2p - 5) = 0
2p + 1 = 0 or 2p + 5 = 0
2p = 0 -1 2p = 0 - 5
2p = -1 2p = -5
p = -1/2 p = -5/2
The solutions are p = -1/2 or -5/2
Since the sequence is geometric, there is some constant

such that the sequence is recursively given by

By this definition, you can recursively substitute into the right hand side the definition for

to find an explicit formula for the

th term.

You know the second term, which means you can find

:

So, the 7th term of the sequence is
