Given:

The geometric series

-4, -6, -9, -27/2, -81/2

Required:

Choose the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given series is:

-4, -6, -9, -27/2, -81/2

The nth term of the geometric series is given by the formula:


a_n=ar^(n-1)

Where a = first term and r = common ratio

From the given series

a = -4


\begin{gathered} r=(-6)/(-4) \\ r=(3)/(2) \end{gathered}

Thus the nth term is:


f(n)=-4((3)/(2))^(n-1)\text{ where n =2,3,4,.....}
