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

"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):

1024*(-0.25)^5.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so -0.25 is the answer?
