-16,8,-4,2 next two terms

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

The jump from -16 to 8, then from 8 to -4 suggests that we're dividing each term by -2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Sure enough, -4/(-2) = 2, so this rule holds up

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

To find the next term, divide 2 by -2

OpenStudy (yusmin):

which would be -1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Then the next term after -1 is???

OpenStudy (yusmin):

ummm. -2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

-1 divided by -2 = ???

OpenStudy (yusmin):

0.5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good or 1/2

OpenStudy (yusmin):
