I go to connection acdeamy and I am in the 7th grade regular math Mrs. Janus I just need some help with this test
Find the next three terms of the sequence -2,-12,-72,-432...
A. -1,728,-6,912,-27,648
geometric sequeence
a = -2
r = 6
An = a r^(n-1)
A5 = -2 (6)^4 = - 2592
A6 = 6(-2592) = - 15552
A7 = 6 A6 = -93312
right damon
i am doing pattern and rules and i need your help.
I need help with the unit 3 patterns and rules test
To find the next three terms of the sequence, we need to identify the pattern or rule followed by the given sequence. In this case, it appears that each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by the factor of -6.
Let's break it down step by step:
Term 1: -2
Term 2: -2 * (-6) = 12
Term 3: 12 * (-6) = -72
Term 4: -72 * (-6) = 432
To find the next term, we can continue applying the same rule: multiplying the previous term by -6.
Term 5: 432 * (-6) = -2,592
Term 6: -2,592 * (-6) = 15,552
Term 7: 15,552 * (-6) = -93,312
Therefore, the next three terms of the sequence are:
Term 5: -2,592
Term 6: 15,552
Term 7: -93,312
So, the correct answer is not option A. (-1,728, -6,912, -27,648).
