For the following geometric sequence, find the recursive formula and the 5th term in the sequence. in your final answer, include all of your work.
{-4, 12, -36, }

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's remember the definition of geometric sequence:

Each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant.  

We need to find out that constant. As it's always the same, we just need to divide the second term by the first one to get it.

The recursive formula will be:

With this, to find the 5th term in the sequence we need the fourth one first

step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is going down by 4

step-by-step explanation:

(its either that or its going left by 4)
