calculate the product of the 1st and 4th terms   of the sequence whose mth term is defined as  ψ_(m+1) =(3^m )(−2)^(m−1)

m=0⇒ψ_1 =3^0 (−2)^(−1) =((−1)/2)  m=3⇒ψ_4 =3^3 (−2)^2 =108  ψ_1 .ψ_4 =(((−1)/2))(108)=−54

$$\mathrm{m}=\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow\psi_{\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{0}} \left(−\mathrm{2}\right)^{−\mathrm{1}} =\frac{−\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{m}=\mathrm{3}\Rightarrow\psi_{\mathrm{4}} =\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{3}} \left(−\mathrm{2}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{108} \\ $$$$\psi_{\mathrm{1}} .\psi_{\mathrm{4}} =\left(\frac{−\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)\left(\mathrm{108}\right)=−\mathrm{54} \\ $$
