Your sequence
-8, 16/3, -32/9, 64/27
is a geometric sequence with first term -8 and common ratio
(16/3)/(-8) = (-32/9)/(16/3) = -2/3
The general term an of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and ratio r is given by
an = a1·r^(n-1)
For your sequence, this is
an = -8·(-2/3)^(n-1)

Answer:
(x-8)(x+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Find out what are the factors of the constant?
2) Which of those add to equal the coefficient before the x value?
In this particular equation, we have the constant being 24. The first two factors that come to mind are 6 and 4, and 8 and 3. Since it is -24, we need one of these numbers to be negative.
Let's look at our "b" value, or the coefficient behind the x value, 5. Looking at our factors and thinking of addition (since one of them must be negative, it will most likely be subtraction instead of addition) I can see that
8+ −3=5
which is one of the factors of -24.
This means that we can factor our equation using these numbers, getting us the following:
(x−3)(x+8)
Hope this helped!
