Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = 6

a2 = -1.2*a_(n-1)

a2 = -1.2*a_1

a2 = -1.2 * 6

a2 = -7.2

a3 = -1.2*a_(n-1)

a3 = -1.2*a_2

a3 = -1.2 * - 7.2

a3 = 8.64

a4 = -1.2 * a_3

a4 = -1.2 * 8.64

a4 = -10.368

Answer:  The correct option is (B) -10.368.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a sequence is defined b the following :

[tex]a_1=6,~~~a_n=-1.2a_{n-1}.[/tex]

We are to find the 4-th term.

To find the fourth term, we need to start from finding the first term.

If n = 2, then the second term is given by

[tex]a_2=-1.2\times a_1=-1.2\times 6=-7.2.[/tex]

If n = 3, then the third term is given by

[tex]a_3=-1.2\times a_2=-1.2\times (-7.2)=8.64.[/tex]

If n = 4, then the fourth term is given by

[tex]a_4=-1.2\times a_3=-1.2\times 8.64=-10.368.[/tex]

Thus, the fourth term of the given sequence is -10.368.

Option (B) is CORRECT.
