Question

Write the next three terms of the geometric sequence 16, 8, 4

Answer 1

`2, 1, (1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Notice that the common ratio of the given geometric sequence is:

`r=(8)/(16)=(1)/(2)`

Therefore, the next 3 terms of the geometric sequence is:

`4*(1)/(2)=2`

`2*(1)/(2)=1`

`1*(1)/(2)=(1)/(2)`
