Answer :

Given the following geometric sequence:

[tex]2,-6,18,-54,........[/tex]

We will find a12

We will use the following formula:

[tex]a_n=a*r^{n-1}[/tex]

where a = the first term = 2

r = the common ratio = -6/2 = -3

To find a12, we will substitute n = 12

So,

[tex]a_{12}=2*(-3)^{12-1}=2*(-3)^{11}=-354,294[/tex]

So, the answer will be A. -354,294
