Question

LAST QUESTION, WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST-What is the common ratio for the geometric sequence?

24,−6,3/2,−3/8,...



Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Divide any term by the previous one.

For instance, divide the second term over the first.

r = common ratio
r = (second term)/(first term)
r = (-6)/(24)
r = -1/4 ... don't forget to reduce fully

The common ratio is -1/4

This means we multiply each term by -1/4 (decimal form -0.25) to get the next term
