Let us review the rules for the geometric
progression.
Let a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6 are the first 6
terms is a G.P.
Let r be the common
difference.
Then, we know
that>
a1= a1
a2=
a1*r
a3= a1*r^2
a4=
a1*r^3
a5= a1*r^4
a6=
a1*r^5
Given that r= -3 and a3 =
18
==> a3=
a1*r^2
==> 18 =
a1*-3^2
==> 18 =
a1*9
==> a1= 18/9 =
2
==> a2= a1*r = 2*-3 =
-6
==> a3=
18
==> a4= a1*r^3= 2*-3^3 = 2*-27 =
-54
==> a5= 2*-3^4 = 2*81 =
162
==> a6= 2*-3^5 =
-486
Then the first six terms
are;
2, -6, 18, -54, 162,
-486.
