Answer:

The answer is option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule for the sequence is

[tex]A(n) = 5. {2}^{x - 1} [/tex]

where x is the number of terms

For the first term

x = 1

That's

[tex]A(1) = 5. {2}^{1 - 1} [/tex]

[tex]A(1) = 5. {2}^{0} [/tex]

A(1) = 5(1)

A(1) = 5

For the fourth term

x = 4

[tex]A(4) = 5. {2}^{4 - 1} [/tex]

[tex]A(4) = 5. {2}^{3} [/tex]

A(4) = 5(8)

A(4) = 40

For the eighth term

x = 8

[tex]A(8) = 5. {2}^{8 - 1} [/tex]

[tex]A(8 ) = 5. {2}^{7} [/tex]

A(8) = 5(128)

A(8) = 640

Hope this helps you

Answer:

The first option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term of the sequence would be...

A(1) = -5 * 2^(1 - 1)

= -5 * 2^0

= -5 * 1

= -5

The fourth would be...

A(4) = -5 * 2^(4 - 1)

= -5 * 2^3

= -5 * 8

= -40

The eighth would be...

A(8) = -5 * 2^(8 - 1)

= -5 * 2^7

= -5 * 128

= -640

So, the correct answer is the first option.

Hope this helps!
