Write the first six terms of the geometric sequence with the first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). \(a_{1}=-6, r=-5\)
Write the first six terms of the geometric sequence with the first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). \(a_{1}=-2, r=-3\)
Write the first six terms of the geometric sequence with the first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). \(a_{1}=2, r=3\)
The sum, \(S_{n}\), of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is given by $$ S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}\left(a_{1}+a_{n}\right), $$ in which \(a_{1}\) is the first term and \(a_{n}\) is the nth term. The sum, \(S_{n}\), of the first \(n\) terms of a geometric sequence is given by $$ S_{n}=\frac{a_{1}\left(1-r^{n}\right)}{1-r}, $$ in which \(a_{1}\) is the first term and \(r\) is the common ratio \((r \neq 1)\). Determine whether each sequence is arithmetic or geometric. Then use the appropriate formula to find \(S_{10}\), the sum of the first ten terms. \(4,10,16,22, \ldots\)
Find the indicated term for the geometric sequence with first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). Find \(a_{20}\), when \(a_{1}=2, r=2\).
