Let a1, a2, a3, a4, a5 are terms of G.P such that r= -4 is
the common difference and a4 = 16
Then we know
that:
a4 = a1*r^3
==>
16 = a1* -4*3
==> 16 =
a1*-64
==> a1= -16/64 =
-1/4
==> a2= a1* r= -1/4 * -4=
1
==> a3= a1*r^2= -1/4* 16 =
-4
==> a4= a1*r^3 = -1/4* -64 =
16
==> a5= a1* r^4 = -1/4* 256 =
-64
==> Then the first 5 terms
are:
-1/4....1.....-4......16......-64
