Find the eigth term of the sequence: -12, -6, -3, …
i got -24
each term appears to be half of the previous term ... geometric sequence
To find the eighth term of a sequence, we first need to identify the pattern in the sequence. In this case, it looks like each term is obtained by dividing the previous term by 2.
Let's calculate the terms of the sequence:
-12 ÷ 2 = -6
-6 ÷ 2 = -3
-3 ÷ 2 = -1.5
To find the eighth term, we need to continue the pattern by dividing the previous term by 2:
-1.5 ÷ 2 = -0.75
So, the eighth term of the sequence is -0.75, not -24. Therefore, it seems like there was a mistake in your calculation.
