What is the formula for the 17th term of the sequence in which a1 equals -3 and the common ratio is -2?

a(n) = -1 - 2n; In your case n = 17 so a(17) = -35

Does the terms of an arithmetic sequence have a common ratio?
No. An 'arithmetic' sequence is defined as one with a common difference.A sequence with a common ratio is a geometricone.
If a geometric sequence has a common ratio of 4 and if each term of the sequence is multiplied by 3what is the common ratio of the resulting sequence?
the answer is 4
What is the common ratio in this geometric sequence?
A single number does not constitute a sequence.
Which sequence is a geometric sequence having 4 as its first term and 3 as the common ratio?
You start with the number 4, then multiply with the "common ratio" to get the next term. That, in turn, is multiplied by the common ratio to get the next term, etc.
What is a geometric rule for pattern?
Not sure about this question. But, a geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the ratio of any two consecutive numbers is a constant, known as the "common ratio". A geometric sequence consists of a set of numbers of the form a, ar, ar2, ar3, ... arn, ... where r is the common ratio.

What is the common ratio in this geometric sequence?
A single number does not constitute a sequence.
A recursive sequence has a common ratio?
true
What is the common ratio in this sequence 6 12 24 48 96?
The common ratio is 2.
What is the common ratio in this geometric sequence 7?
A single number does not constitute a sequence.
Which sequence is a geometric sequence having 4 as its first term and 3 as the common ratio?

What is the common ratio in this geometric sequence 3 12 48?
The ratio is 4.
In what sequence are all of the terms the same?
A static sequence: for example a geometric sequence with common ratio = 1.
What is the change from one number to the next in a geometric sequence called?
The common ratio.
Is the following sequence arithmetic or geometric and what is the common difference (d) or the common ration (r) the common ratio (r) of the sequence π2π3π22π?
The sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric.
How do you determine if a sequence is geometric?
A sequence is geometric if each term is found by mutiplying the previous term by a certain number (known as the common ratio). 2,4,8,16, --> here the common ratio is 2.
