OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

A. The animals are increasingly larger.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok & what abt this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Divide the second number by the first number. What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Good. Now divide the third number by the second number. What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same ans cuz its the common ratio

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. Now that you know the common ratio, multiply the last number you have by the common ratio to get the next number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-189

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Keep on doing it until you get to the 10th number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh right keep doing that until I get to the 10th term!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got -15309?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Since you have 5 terms, and you need the 10th, and all you need to do is multiply each term by -3 to get the next one, this is not too much work. If you needed to come up with the 215th term, then there is a formula you can use.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct.
