any formulas to plug this problem in? I don't know at all how to do these. HELP! Write the first four terms of the geometric sequence in which a1 = -3 and r = -4

OpenStudy (amistre64):

was term of a geometric sequence is simply r times the last term

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[a_n=a_{n-1}~r~:~a_1=k\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[a_1=k\] \[a_2 = k~r\] \[a_3 = k~r~r\] \[a_4 = k~r~r~r\] \[a_n = k~r^{n-1}\]
