You've gone to fruit stand to get some fresh produce. You notice that the person in front of you gets 5 apples and 4 oranges
for 10 dollars. You get 5 apples and 5 oranges for 11 dollars.

so what’s the QUESTION

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
