Answer:
\bold{a_n=120\bigg((1)/(3)\bigg)^(n-1)}

Explanation:


\text{A geometric sequence is represented by:}\ a_n = a_1 (r)^(n-1)\\\text{where}\ a_1\ \text{is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the term}


\text{In the given sequence,}\ a_1=120\ \text{and r} = (40)/(120)=(1)/(3)


\rightarrow \ a_n=120\bigg((1)/(3)\bigg)^(n-1)
