we are given
geometric sequence -36, 6, -1, 1/6, ...
first term is -36
now, we can find common ratio
now, we can find nth term
now, we can plug values
and we get

fifth term:
sixth term:
seventh term:
so, next terms are

How to Simplify a Ratio A : B when A and B are both whole numbers:
Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).
<em>The GCF of 14 and 4 is 2</em>
Divide both terms by the GCF, 2:
14 ÷ 2 = 7
4 ÷ 2 = 2
The ratio 14 : 4 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 2 :
14 : 4 = 7 : 2
Therefore:
14 : 4 = 7 : 2
