• A) \(a _ { 1 } = - \frac { 11 } { 3 } , a _ { 2 } = - \frac { 35 } { 9 } , a _ { 3 } = - \frac { 107 } { 27 } , a _ { 4 } = - \frac { 323 } { 81 } , a _ { 5 } = - \frac { 971 } { 243 }\)
• B) \(a _ { 1 } = - \frac { 13 } { 3 } , a _ { 2 } = - \frac { 37 } { 9 } , a _ { 3 } = - \frac { 109 } { 27 } , a _ { 4 } = - \frac { 325 } { 81 } , a _ { 5 } = - \frac { 973 } { 243 }\)
• C) \(a _ { 1 } = \frac { 11 } { 3 } , a _ { 2 } = \frac { 35 } { 9 } , a _ { 3 } = \frac { 107 } { 27 } , a _ { 4 } = \frac { 323 } { 81 } , a _ { 5 } = \frac { 971 } { 243 }\)
• D) \(a _ { 1 } = - 3 , a _ { 2 } = \frac { 11 } { 3 } , a _ { 3 } = \frac { 35 } { 9 } , a _ { 4 } = \frac { 107 } { 27 } , a _ { 5 } = \frac { 323 } { 81 }\)
• E) \(a _ { 1 } = - 5 , a _ { 2 } = - \frac { 13 } { 3 } , a _ { 3 } = - \frac { 37 } { 9 } , a _ { 4 } = - \frac { 109 } { 27 } , a _ { 5 } = - \frac { 325 } { 81 }\)
