Each term is a the previous term divided by -4. Do it twice more and you've got your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the formula.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

go away

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"Geometric sequence" means you multiply by something to get the next term. In this case, you multiply each term by -0.25 to get the next term.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -0.25 is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not necessarily. Just multiply by it twice more and see what you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what? :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you just tell me the answer, i need to go to bed. this is ridic.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just do the multiplication. Even a cheap calculator can do it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did. Now you can get it done and help yourself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no you didnt give me the answer, i know you know it, just say it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1024*(-0.25)^5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -0.25 is the answer?

"no you keep telling people not to give me the answer, but i just wanna go to bed, i have other things going on in my life. I really need to just finish this quiz." @nomad96 YOU CAN NOT ASK FOR QUIZ ANSWERS!
