Can anyone solve this for me?
\[a_{n} = a_{1} r^{(n-1)}\] The nth term of the sequence is equal to the first term of the sequence multiplied by the common ratio to the power of nth's position minus one.
\[r = \frac{ a_{2} }{ a_{1} }\] The common ratio is equal to the second term of the series divided by the first term of the series.
\[r = \frac{ -15 }{ 3 } = -5\]
To show you the formula works... \[a_{2} = 3(-5^{2-1}) \rightarrow a_{2} = 3(-5^{1}) \rightarrow a_{2} = -15\]
You just have to do the same thing but for the 6th position.
@ILoveXXXTENTACION Do you understand how to use the formula?
sure, when i figure it out, ill tell u what i think is the answer, k?
For sure.
Want me to do a third example or you do you think you can figure it out?
