Answer:

nth term = 0.8 * -5^(n - 1)

First five terms are: 0.8, -4,

20, -100, 500

Step-by-step explanation:

First term, a1 = 0.8

Common ratio, r = -5

a1 = 0.8

Second term = ar

= 0.8 * -5

= -4

Third term = ar²

= 0.8 * -5²

= 0.8 * 25

= 20

Fourth term = ar³

= 0.8 * -5³

= 0.8 * -125

= -100

Fifth term = ar⁴

= 0.8 * -5⁴

= 0.8 * 625

= 500

First five terms are: 0.8, -4,

20, -100, 500

nth term = ar^(n - 1)

= 0.8 * -5^(n - 1)

nth term = 0.8 * -5^(n - 1)
