A geometric sequence has $400$ terms. The first term is $500$ and the common ratio is $-\frac{1}{20}.$ How many terms of this sequence are greater than $1?$

\(500,25, 5/4, 5/80\)

But 25 is negative because of the negative sign on the common ratio, so heres the updated list greater than 1.

\(500,-25,5/4\)

There are only 2 numbers of the sequence greater than 1
