How do I find the first term of a geometric sequence when given the number of terms, ratio, and sum?

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

total of apples - take away four

6-4 = 2

answer is 2 apples

ask the math teacher she or he would know lol.
