The formula for any geometric sequence is an = a1 · rn - 1, where an represents the value of the nth term, a1 represents the value of the first term, r represents the common ratio, and n represents the term number. What is the formula for the geometric sequence 1, -2, 4, -8, ...? an = 1 · (-2)n - 1 an = -2 · 1n - 1 an = -8 · (-2)n - 1 an = 1 · 2n - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the geometric sequence: 1, -2, 4, -8, ...

Find the common ratio:

substitute:

Substitute

to

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
