Find the next three terms of the sequence -2, -12, -72, -432,...
A.-1,728, -6,912, -27,648
b.-1,728, -10,368, -62,208
c.-2,592, -10,368, -41,472
d.-2,592, -15,552, -93,312
The answer is D it is x by 6
that is good it is d
omg just give all the answers for the test
Hmm, that's quite a sequence of numbers! Let's see if we can figure out the pattern here.
If we take a closer look, we can see that each term of the sequence is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 6. So, to find the next term, we simply need to multiply the last term by 6.
Starting with -432, let's give it a whirl:
-432 * 6 = -2,592
So, the next term in the sequence would be -2,592.
Now, let's keep going:
-2,592 * 6 = -15,552
And finally:
-15,552 * 6 = -93,312
So, the next three terms of the sequence would be -2,592, -15,552, and -93,312. Looks like the answer is option D: -2,592, -15,552, -93,312. Keep clowning around with numbers!
To find the next terms in the sequence, we can observe that each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by -6. Therefore, to find the next term, we multiply the current last term by -6.
The given sequence is:
-2, -12, -72, -432,...
To find the next term, multiply the last term, -432, by -6:
-432 * -6 = 2,592
Therefore, the next term is 2,592.
To find the second next term, we multiply 2,592 by -6:
2,592 * -6 = -15,552
Therefore, the second next term is -15,552.
Finally, to find the third next term, we multiply -15,552 by -6:
-15,552 * -6 = 93,312
Therefore, the third next term is 93,312.
So, the correct answer is:
d. -2,592, -15,552, -93,312
