Question 1135558: Find the first six terms of the sequence.
a1 = -6, an = 4 • an-1
choices below
0, 4, -24, -20, -16, -12
-24, -96, -384, -1536, -6144, -24,576
-6, -24, -20, -16, -12, -8
-6, -24, -96, -384, -1536, -6144

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
The formula describes a geometric progression with the first term a1 = -6 and the common ratio 4.
The first two sequences in optional answers do not have -6 as the first term, so they automatically go out of our consideration.
The third sequence is NOT a geometric, so it goes out, too . . .
And only the last, #4 sequence, is what the question is asking for.
