Respuesta :
you have to multiply by -3
so the answers are going to be one negative one positive
and the next 5th terms are 108,-324,972,-2916,8748
12 / -4 = -3, also -36 / 12 = -3.
So the sequence goes:
-4, -4(-3), -4(-3)(-3), ... or -4, -4(-3), -4(-3)^2...
So the recursive formula to find any term would be -4(-3)^n, where n = 0 for the first term.
So for the 5th term, n = 4 and so:
-4(-3)^4 = -324.
You can check as it would be -36 * -3 * -3 = -36*9 = -324.
