Question

Determine if the sequence is geometric. If it is, find the common ratio. ( -4, 12, -36, 108, ... )

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

to know whether it is geometric progression or not, you need to find the common ratio. to find the ratio divide the (n+1)th term by n th term

so, 12/-4 = -3

also, -36/12 = -3

here u see the ratio is always same, i.e., common ratio.

thus u can say it is a geometric series with common ratio -3
