What is the common ratio of the sequence 8, -8, 8, -8, 8, _____?​

Sagot :

-1

To find the common ratio (r), divide current term by the previous term.

[tex]\large\sf{ r = \: \frac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}} [/tex]

example using 2nd term and 1st term

r = -8/8

r = -1

double check by using 3rd and 2nd term,

r = 8/-8

r = -1
