Find a G.P. for which sum of the first two terms is `- 4`and the fifth term is 4 times the third term.

Answer» given that ,`a+ ar=-4` eqn(1)
`T_5 = 4T_3`
`ar^4 = 4ar^2`
`r^2=4`
`r= +-2`
now `a(1+r)= -4`
if `r=2, a= -4/3`
`-4/3 + (-8/3)+ (-16/3) ........`
if `r=-2, a= -4/-1=4`
`4+(-8)+16+(-32).......`
