Question

What is the next term of the geometric sequence? -16/5 ,8, -20,

Answer 1

Answer:

common ratio(r)= 8÷(-16/5)= -20/8= -2.5 or -5/2

Gn=G1r^(n-1)

the next term will be the 4th term, means n=4

G4= (-16/5)((-5/2)^(4-1)

=(-16/5)(-125/8)

=50

Therefore the next term will be 4th term(G4)=50.

Answer 2
