Write a formula for the general term (the nth term) of each geometric sequence. Then use the formula for \(a_{n}\) to find \(a_{7}\), the seventh term of the sequence. \(0.0007,-0.007,0.07,-0.7, \ldots\)
Find the indicated term for the geometric sequence with first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). Find \(a_{200}\), when \(a_{1}=60, r=1\).
Find the indicated term for the geometric sequence with first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). Find \(a_{4}\), when \(a_{1}=4, r=-3\).
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I've noticed that the big difference between arithmetic and geometric sequences is that arithmetic sequences are based on addition and geometric sequences are based on multiplication.
Find the indicated term for the geometric sequence with first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). Find \(a_{6}\), when \(a_{1}=-2, r=-3\).
