Give the next three terms for each geometric sequence.

1.) -1, 2, -4, _, _, _
2.) 100, 20, 4, _, _, _

p.s. I will mark the brainliest answer for those got these right


Sagot :

Answer:

1. -1, 2, -4, 8, -16, 32

2. 100, 20, 4, 0.8, 0.16, 0.032

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

r = a2 ÷ a1

= 2 ÷ -1

= -2

an = ar^n-1

a4 = (-1)(-2^4-1)

= (-1)(-2³)

=(-1)(-8)

= 8

a5 = (-1)(-2^5-1)

= (-1)(-2⁴)

=(-1)(16)

= -16

a6 = (-1)(-2^6-1)

= (-1)(-2⁵)

=(-1)(-32)

= 32

2.

r = a2 ÷ a1

= 20 ÷  100

= 0.2

an = ar^n-1

a4 = (100)(0.2^4-1)

= (100)(0.2³)

=(100)(0.008)

= 0.8

a5 = (100)(0.2^5-1)

= (100)(0.2⁴)

=(100)(0.0016)

= 0.16

a6 = (100)(0.2^6-1)

= (100)(0.2⁵)

=(100)(0.00032)

= 0.032
