We have that
<span>2/5 , -4/15 , 8/45 , -4/15 , -8/45

we know that
 
</span><span>A geometric sequence is defined by   
a(n + 1) = r*a(n)
so
r = a(n + 1) / a(n)</span>

Let
a1=2/5
a2=-4/15
a3=8/45

a2/a1=(-4/15)/(2/5)=-20/30------> -2/3
a3/a2=(8/45)/(-4/15)=-20/30------> -30/45--------> -2/3

<span>the common ratio is
</span>r=-2/3
calculate
a4=r*a3---------> (-2/3)*8/45-----> -16/135
a5=r*a4--------> (-2/3)*(-16/135)-----> 32/405

the correct geometric sequence is 
2/5 , -4/15 , 8/45 , -16/135 , 32/405, .....

the answer is
the common ratio is r=-2/3

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:t= 9

Step-by-step explanation: 10t =90

                                           divide 10 on both sides

                                            so 10t /10 and 90/10

                                             which means t=9
