Question

Celest

Answer 1

Answer:

A - 48,96, -192

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

geometric sequence:

-3, 6, -12, 24,

geometric sequence has a constant ratio r and is given by

an=a1(r)^(n-1)

where

an=nth term

r=common ratio

n=number of term

a1=first term

In given series:

a1=-3

r= a(n+1)/an

r=6/-3

r=-2

Now computing next term a5

a5=a1(r)^(n-1)

    = -3(-2)^(4)

   = -48

a6=a1(r)^(n-1)

    = -3(-2)^(5)

   = 96

a7=a1(r)^(n-1)

    = -3(-2)^(9)

   = -192

So the sequence now is -3, 6, -12, 24,-48,96,-192

correct option is A!
