What is the common ratio of the geometric sequence? -2, 4, -8, ,16, -13

step-by-step explanation:

goog be able to you with that maybe

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

Regular polygon area = n*side^2 / (4 * tan (180/n))
where "n" is number of sides
The formula is dependent on the side^2 term,
So, if we have an octagon that has sides 4 times as large, that means the area will be sixteen times larger.
side^2 = 4^2 = 16
So we multiply 25 cm^2 by 16 and we get
400 square centimeters.
