Consider examples of geometric sequences with negative ratios.
A computer program doubles its speed every year. If it starts at 2 GHz, how fast will it be after 10 years? Use the concept of geometric sequences to derive your answer.
Use the first term and common ratio to calculate the final speed using the formula.
