Multiple Choice

Find the nth term of the geometric sequence.
- $$3 , - \frac { 3 } { 5 } , \frac { 3 } { 25 } , - \frac { 3 } { 125 } , \frac { 3 } { 625 }$$

• A) \(a _ { n } = 3 \cdot \left( - \frac { 1 } { 25 } \right) ^ { n - 1 }\)
• B) \(a _ { n } = 3 \cdot \left( - \frac { 1 } { 5 } \right) ^ { n - 1 }\)
• C) \(a _ { n } = 3 \cdot \left( - \frac { 1 } { 5 } \right) ^ { n }\)
• D) \(a _ { n } = 3 \cdot \left( - \frac { 1 } { 5 } \right) ^ { n + 1 }\)
