question 32

Multiple Choice

Find the fifth term and the nth term of the geometric sequence whose initial term, a, and common ratio, r, are given.
- $$\mathrm { a } = - 8 ; \mathrm { r } = - 5$$

• A) \(\mathrm { a } _ { 5 } = 1,000 ; \mathrm { a } _ { \mathrm { n } } = - 8 \cdot ( - 5 ) ^ { \mathrm { n } }\)
• B) \(\mathrm { a } _ { 5 } = - 5,000 ; \mathrm { a } _ { \mathrm { n } } = - 8 \cdot ( - 5 ) ^ { \mathrm { n } }\)
• C) \(a _ { 5 } = - 5,000 ; a _ { n } = - 8 \cdot ( - 5 ) ^ { n - 1 }\)
• D) \(a _ { 5 } = 1,000 ; a _ { n } = - 8 \cdot ( - 5 ) ^ { n - 1 }\)
