You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a1 = 10, r =-1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "nth term of a geometric sequence is given by: $\"+xn+=+a1%2Ar%5E%28n-1%29+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, a2 = a1*r^(2-1) = a1*r = 10*(-1) = -10
\n" ); document.write( " a3 = a1*r^(3-1) = a1*r^2 = 10*(-1)^2 = 10*1 = 10
\n" ); document.write( " a4 = a1*r^(4-1) = a1*r^3 = 10*(-1)^3 = 10*(-1) = -10
\n" ); document.write( " a5 = a1*r^(5-1) = a1*r^4 = 10*(-1)^4 = 10*1 = 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps~! \n" ); document.write( "
