Question 410797
I have to find the "nth" term in a sequence. The series of numbers 
is -2,-10,-50, -250... I have to find the fifth and ninth term in this sequence.
This is a geometric sequence because each successive term is 5 times
the previous term.
---
Formula:
The nth term formula is a(n) = a(1)*r^(n-1)
----
In your sequence a(1) is -2 and r is 5
---
Find a(5)
Find a(9)
==================
Cheers,

This is a question on a take home quiz and don't necessarily want the answer, I just need help on what each of the variables stands for.(Example: A(n) is the nth term you want to find)
