Answer:

  a[1] = 4

  a[n] = -3·a[n-1]

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence given is not a geometric sequence, since the ratios of terms are -3, -3, 3 -- not a constant.

If we assume that the last given term is supposed to be -108, then the common ratio is -3 and each term is -3 times the previous one. That is expressed in a recursive formula as ...

  a[1] = 4 . . . . . . . . . . .  first term is 4

  a[n] = -3·a[n-1] . . . . . each successive term is -3 times the previous one
