Answer:

The correct answer option is B.
1,
(1)/(2),
(1)/(4).

Explanation:

We are given the following geometric sequence and we are to find its 8th term:


16, 8, 4, 2,...

Here
a_1=16 and common ratio
(r) = (2)/(4)=0.5.

The formula we will use to find the next three terms is:

nth term =
a_1 * r^((n-1))

5th term =
16 * 0.5^((5-1)) = 1

6th term =
16 * 0.5^((6-1)) =
(1)/(2)

7th term =
16 * 0.5^((7-1)) =
(1)/(4)
