Q:
What is the common ratio for the geometric sequence? 24,−6,32,−38,...Enter your answer in the box.
Accepted Solution
A:
Note this pattern: Mult. 24 by (-1/4) produces -6.
Mult -6 by (-1/4) produces 6/4 = 3/2
Mult. 3/2 by (-1/4) produces 3/8
Looks as though you copied the problem down incorrectly. You wrote 32 for 3/2 and -38 for -3/8.
The common ratio is -1/4.
