make a conjecture about the item in the sequence 6, 8, -32, 120 pick ansewr a. 116 b.-480 c.122 d-488
122.
To make a conjecture about the item in the given sequence, let's analyze the given numbers: 6, 8, -32, 120.
From the first number to the second number, the pattern seems to be multiplication by 2 (6 * 2 = 12).
From the second number to the third number, the pattern seems to be multiplication by -4 (8 * -4 = -32).
From the third number to the fourth number, the pattern seems to be multiplication by -3 ( -32 * -3 = 96), and adding 24 (+24) to the result (96 + 24 = 120).
Based on this pattern, we can extend the sequence:
6, 8, -32, 120, -504, 2144, ...
Therefore, the next number in the sequence would be -504.
So, the correct answer would be b. -480.
