Answer 4

Note: Technically, it is impossible to know. Since we are NOT told that this is a Geometric Sequence, we CANNOT know that is what was intended. A few terms of a sequence do NOT define an infinite sequence, no matter how obvious or clear some pattern may appear at first glance.

One possibility is 1/512
Another possibility is -2
Another possibility is \(\sqrt{3}\)
