Find the indicated term for the geometric sequence with first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). Find \(a_{6}\), when \(a_{1}=-2, r=-3\).
Determine whether each sequence is arithmetic or geometric. Then find the next two terms. \(7,-7,7,-7, \ldots\)
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. A sequence that is not arithmetic must be geometric.
Suppose you save $$\$ 1$$ the first day of a month, $$\$ 2$$ the second day, $$\$ 4$$ the third day, and so on. That is, each day you save twice as much as you did the day before. What will you put aside for savings on the thirtieth day of the month?
Find the indicated term for the geometric sequence with first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). Find \(a_{6}\), when \(a_{1}=18, r=-\frac{1}{3}\).
