jhannybean · Answer

so from -125 -> 25 = +100, -25 -> 5 = +20 , 5 -> -1 = -6

The next number is just $$-\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }$$

wrong answer

noelgreco · Answer

Check your signs.  It's not a realistic sequence.

noelgreco · Answer

It's not arithmetic, and it's not geometric.

Check the question.

anonymous · Answer

I am gonna tell you why I got -1/5 just now....I got that answer because I could see that to get the nex term I keep on diving by 5

blaque678 · Answer

I tried -1/5 and -6.Both are wrong

jhannybean · Answer

Yep, there is no difference to make it an arithmetic progression or reduction, nor is there a ratio to make it a geometric sequence.

anonymous · Answer

Guys stop talking wrong things here please the correct answer is $$-\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }$$

blaque678 · Answer

-1/5 is wrong

anonymous · Answer

You divide each term by 5 or multiply each term by 1/5 to get the next term of the sequence

anonymous · Answer

Your sequence to be valid should have looked something like this man $$-125,-25,-5,-1,-\frac{ 1 }{ 5 },-\frac{ 1 }{ 25 } etc$$

Then you have posted it wrong.  Post it EXACTLY as written.  Be very careful about your signs.
