First you find common denominator which is 18, you don't have to change 2/18
1x3=3
6x3=18
so 3/18 plus 2/18= 5/18
So your answer is 5/18
The common ratio of the geometric sequence is -1/2
<h3>How to determine the common ratio?</h3>
The geometric sequence is given as: -96, 48, -24, 12, -6, ...
The common ratio is calculated using:
r = T2/T1
From the sequence, we have:
T2 = 48
T1 = -96
This means that
r = 48/-96
Evaluate the quotient
r = -1/2
Hence, the common ratio of the geometric sequence is -1/2

yes because it contains a decimal
<span>(2x^2 y^4)3
= 2^3 x^6 y^12
= 8x^6y^12
