Question

What is the third term d(1)=8 d(n)=d(n−1)⋅(−5) ​

Answer 1

The third term is 200

Explanation:

given that d(1)=8

d(n)=d(n-1).(-5)

we have to determine the third term d(3)

d(3)=d(3-1).(-5)

d(3)=d(2).(-5)

d(2)=d(2-1).(-5)

=d(1).(-5)

put d(1)=8

d(2)=8.(-5)=-40

d(3)=d(2).(-5)=-40.-5=200
