Find the general term an for the geometric sequence. a1= -3, a2= 6 an= ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(a_1, a_2, a_3, ...\) if it is geometric it is \[a, ar, ar^2, ar^3, ar^4, ...\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have \[a=-3, ar=6\] and so \[r=\frac{6}{-3}=-2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

general term will be \[a_n=-3\times (-2)^{n-1}\]
