e. 
, ... find the 8th term.
f. √5, 5, 5√5, ... find the 9th term.
g. z, 2z2, 4z3,... find the 21st term.
4. Find the n th (general term) for the sequences:
a. 2, 4, 8, ...
b. 3, 9, 27, ...
c. 6, 3, 1.5, ...

g. 6, -6, 6, -6, ...
5. If the 4th term of a geometric sequence is 4 and the 8th term is 64, find the common ratio and the first term and thus list the first four terms of the sequence.
6. If the 2nd term of a geometric sequence is 9 and the 7th term is 
, find the common ratio and the first term and thus list the first four terms of the sequence.
7. Which term of the sequence 6, 12, 24, ... is equal to 768?
8. Which term of the sequence 1, 4, 16, ...is equal to 4096?
