Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1) = -8

f(2) = -5/2×-8 = -20

f(3) = -5/2×-20 = -125

Answer:

C.  a1 = -8

an = an-1 * 5/2  for n >1

Step-by-step explanation:

-8, -20, -50, –125, 625,...

We need to find the common ratio

Take the second  term and divide by the first term

-20/-8 = 5/2

Take the third term and divide by the second term

-50/-20 = 5/2

The common ratio is 5/2

A geometric sequence is

an = a1 * r^(n-1)

an = -8 *(5/2)^(n-1)

We can also write a recursive formula

a1 = -8

an = an-1 * 5/2  for n >1
