Question

-4, 28, -196
what are the next 2 terms?

Answer 1

1372 , - 9604

Explanation:

there isa common ratio between consecutive terms , that is

`(28)/(-4)` =
`(-196)/(28)` = - 7

To obtain the next term in the sequence multiply the previous term by - 7

- 196 × - 7 = 1372

1372 × - 7 = - 9604

Answer 2

The next 2 terms are 1372 and -9604.

Explanation:

If we look at -4 and 28, we can infer that 28 is a factor of -4. What times -4 can give us 28?

-4x(-7), -4x(-7)(-7)

This is just another way of writing the pattern.

Now we have to multiply -196 by -7, and that product by -7.

-196x-7=1372

1372x-7= -9604

So, the next 2 terms are 1372 and -9604.
