question 190

Multiple Choice

Find the fifth term and the nth term of the geometric sequence whose initial term, a, and common ratio, r, are given.
- $$\mathrm { a } = 7 ; \mathrm { r } = - 2$$

• A) \(a _ { 5 } = - 56 ; a _ { n } = 7 \cdot ( - 2 ) ^ { n }\)
• B) \(\mathrm { a } _ { 5 } = 112 ; \mathrm { a } _ { \mathrm { n } } = 7 \cdot ( - 2 ) ^ { \mathrm { n } }\)
• C) \(\mathrm { a } _ { 5 } = 112 ; \mathrm { a } _ { \mathrm { n } } = 7 \cdot ( - 2 ) ^ { \mathrm { n } - 1 }\)
• D) \(a _ { 5 } = - 56 ; a _ { n } = 7 \cdot ( - 2 ) ^ { n - 1 }\)
