The nth term of the GP is (-1)^n(2)^n.
[tex]( - 1)^{n} (2)^{n} [/tex]

Find the first three terms.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

-2, 4 and -8

Explanation:

Given the nth term of a GP expressed as;

[tex]a_n = (-1)^n(2)^n[/tex]

When n = 1

[tex]a_1 = (-1)^1(2)^1\\a_1 = -1 * 2\\a_1 = -2\\[/tex]

when n = 2

[tex]a_2 = (-1)^2(2)^2\\a_2 = 1 * 4\\a_2 = 4\\[/tex]

when n = 3

[tex]a_3 = (-1)^3(2)^3\\a_3 = -1 * 8\\a_3 = -8\\[/tex]

Hence the first three terms of the sequence are -2, 4 and -8
