Answer: -5 * -5^n-1 Explanation: the equation for explicit formula is a (a 1 at the bottom of a) times r to the power of n minus 1 a with the 1 at the bottom just means your first term, which is -5. R is Q which is -5 When you put that together you get -5 * -5^n-1
(The asterisk(*) means multiplication and the caret(^) means the variables and numbers after it are in exponent form.
