Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that a1=-1 and an=43an-1.

Find what is the formula for the nth of the given sequence.

 

 

 

If in a sequence of terms, each succeeding term is generated by multiplying each preceding term with a constant value then the sequence is called a geometric progression.

The nth term of the geometric sequence is Tn=arn-1
