We have information: 
The given first term is 6 and common ratio (r)=2 
Calculation: 
The given first term is a=6 and common ratio (r)=2 
To begin, multiply the first term by the common ratio. To get the next term and so on, multiply the result by the common ratio once more.
a1=a=6 
a2=a1r=6(2)=12 
a3=a2r12(2)=24 
a4=a3r=24(2)=48 
a5=a4r=48(2)=96 
Hence, the first five terms of the sequence are 6,-12,24,-48,96.
