To determine the explicit formula for the geometric sequence , follow these steps:

1.Identify the first term :

Here, .

 

2.Determine the common ratio r:

Divide the second term by the first term: .

Divide the third term by the second term: .

The common ratio r = -3.

 

3.Write the general formula for a geometric sequence:
