I'm assuming the sequence is: -320, 80, -20, 5
Divide each term by the previous term to get the common ratio r
r = (term 2)/(term 1) = 80/(-320) = -1/4
r = (term 3)/(term 2) = -20/80 = -1/4
r = (term 4)/(term 3) = 5/(-20) = -1/4
No matter which term you pick (as long as it's not the first one) dividing it by the previous term leads to -1/4 or -0.25 as the common ratio
Answer: -1/4
It seems like none of the answer choices have -1/4 but it could be choice A was supposed to show "-1/4" instead of "-14"? Perhaps the division sign didn't show up for some reason?
Answer:
2nd: 2
4th: -4
11th: -25
Step-by-step explanation:
When you substitute a number into the equation you get that number term. So, if you substituted in 1, you get the first term. To find the second term, you substitute in 2:
A(2) = 5 + (2 - 1)(-3)
A(2) = 5 + (1)(-3)
A(2) = 5 - 3
A(2) = 2
To get the 4th term you substitute in 4:
A(4) = 5 + (4 - 1)(-3)
A(4) = 5 + (3)(-3)
A(4) = 5 - 9
A(4) = -4
And we do the same for the 11th term:
A(11) = 5 + (11 - 1)(-3)
A(11) = 5 + (10)(-3)
A(11) = 5 - 30
A(11) = -25
