Question

Identify the pattern for the following sequence. Find the next three terms in the sequence.

-1, 3,-9, 27,
a. Multiply by 3; 81, 243, 729
b. Multiply by -3; -81, 243, -729
C. Multiply by -3; 81, 243, 729
d. Multiply by 3; -81, -243, -729

Answer 1

answer is b

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is B.

-9/3= -3, which means that each number is getting multiples by -3. Therefore, we can eliminate A and D. 27•-3=-81, so we can eliminate C. We are left with B, and we can check this by making sure that each number is correctly multiplied by -3.
