Find the first, fourth, and eighth terms of the sequence. a(n) = –3 • 2n–1 a. –12; –96; –1,536 b. –3; –24; –384 c. –6; –48; –768 d. 1; –216; –279,936

  B. -3; -24, -384

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is the multiplier of the exponential function, -3. That tells you immediately that the only correct answer choice is B.

___

The general term of a geometric sequence is ...

  an = a1·r^(n-1)

where a1 is the first term and r is the common ratio.
