Find the indicated term for the geometric sequence with first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). Find \(a_{6}\), when \(a_{1}=-2, r=-3\).
You are offered a job that pays $$\$ 30,000$$ for the first year with an annual increase of \(5 \%\) per year beginning in the second year. That is, beginning in year 2 , your salary will be \(1.05\) times what it was in the previous year. What can you expect to earn in your sixth year on the job? Round to the nearest dollar.
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. \(3,15,75,375, \ldots\)
Company A pays $$\$ 24,000$$ yearly with raises of $$\$ 1600$$ per year. Company B pays $$\$ 28,000$$ yearly with raises of $$\$ 1000$$ per year. Which company will pay more in year 10 ? How much more?
Write the first six terms of the geometric sequence with the first term, \(a_{1}\), and common ratio, \(r\). \(a_{1}=4, r=2\)
