\[a(n) = a_1r^{n-1}\]

OpenStudy (rational):

plugin \(n=1\) into the given formula to get the first term

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

So you're looking for \(a_1~,~ a_4~,~a_8\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alternative A. since a(1) = -6 , a(3) = -24, a(8) = -384

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

the subscripts all denote what the value of n is, like rational stated, just plug n into the formula.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

@Skaujotne no answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it now!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is my choice -3,-24,-384

OpenStudy (rational):
