Find the indicated term of the given geometric sequence.

a1 = –5, r = 5, n = 5


Sagot :

Answer:

a₅ = -3125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

a₁ = -5, r = 5 and n = 5

The geometric sequence is given by :

[tex]a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

Put all the values,

[tex]a_5=-5\times 5^{5-1}\\\\=-5\times 5^4\\\\=-3125[/tex]

So, the fifth term is equal to -3125.
