Answer

True.

Work Step by Step

If we know the first and second terms of a geometric sequence we can find any other term. We can find the common ratio, $r=\frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}$, between the terms and take the first term, a, and plug them into the formula : $a_{n} = a(r)^{n-1}$ to find any other term.
