Question

What is the next three terms to "3,-12,48,-192"

Answer 1

768, -3072, 12288

Explanation:

The pattern is a geometric sequence, where the previous term is multiplied by a factor of -4 every time. Therefore, we take -192 and multiply it by -4, and so forth until we reach our answer.

Answer 2

- 768 , 3072 , - 12288

Explanation:

there is a common ratio between consecutive terms , that is

- 12 ÷ 3 = - 4

48 ÷ - 12 = - 4

- 192 ÷ 48 = - 4

to obtain the next term in the sequence multiply the preceding term by - 4

- 192 × - 4 = - 768

- 768 × - 4 = 3072

3072 × - 4 = - 12288

the next three terms are - 768 , 3072 , - 12288
