In The Formula For The General Term Of A Geometric Sequence class=

Sagot :

The nth term of a geometric sequence can be calculated as:

[tex]t_n=t_1\cdot r^{n-1}[/tex]

Where t1 is the initial term and r is the common ratio.

We are given the general term of a geometric sequence:

[tex]t_n=-4\cdot\left(\frac{7}{8}\right)^{n-1}[/tex]

When comparing both equations, we know that a1 = -4, r = 7/8

Answer: C 7/8
