–16, –1024


64; 65,536

2, 64

Answer 1

they already gave u first one a_1= first term
n=term that u have to find

to find 2nd term substitute n for 2
to find 3rd term substitute n for 3

Answer 2

\[\huge\rm a_2=-4(a_{2-1}-1)^2\]
now solve

Answer 3

\[a_{2-1}=a_1\] substitute a_1 for first term which is 2
