question 405

Multiple Choice

Find a general term a_n for the geometric sequence.
- $$a _ { 1 } = - \frac { 1 } { 5 } , r = - 5$$

• A) \(a _ { n } = - \frac { 1 } { 5 } - \frac { 1 } { 5 } ( n - 1 )\)
• B) \(a _ { n } = - \frac { 1 } { 5 } + \frac { 6 } { 25 } ( n - 1 )\)
• C) \(a _ { n } = - \frac { 1 } { 5 } \cdot ( - 5 ) ^ { n - 1 }\)
• D) \(a _ { n } = \left( - \frac { 1 } { 5 } \right) ^ { n - 1 } + \frac { 6 } { 25 }\)
