StartFraction 1 Over 12 EndFraction, StartFraction 1 Over 24 EndFraction, StartFraction 1 Over 48 EndFraction b. StartFraction 1 Over 16 EndFraction, StartFraction 1 Over 32 EndFraction, StartFraction 1 Over 64 EndFraction c. Negative StartFraction 1 Over 12 EndFraction, StartFraction 1 Over 24 EndFraction, Negative StartFraction 1 Over 48 EndFraction d. Negative StartFraction 1 Over 12 EndFraction, StartFraction 1 Over 24 EndFraction, Negative StartFraction 1 Over 48 EndFraction

Answer 1

The next three terms will be -1/16, 1/32, and -1/64. Then the correct option is B.

What is the geometric sequences?

Let a be term and r be the common ratio. Then the geometric sequences will be

$\rm a_n = a_{n -1} \cdot r$

The sequence is given below.

-1, 1/2, -1/4, 1/8,....

The common ratio will be -1/2.

Then the next three terms will be

a₅ = a₄ x (-1/2)

a₅ = (1/8) x (-1/2)

a₅ = -1/16

a₆ = a₅ x (-1/2)

a₆ = (-1/16) x (-1/2)

a₆ = 1/32

a₇ = a₆ x (-1/2)

a₇ = (1/32) x (-1/2)

a₇ = -1/64

Then the next three terms will be -1/16, 1/32, and -1/64.

Then the correct option is B.
