Step 1 StartFraction (3) (4) (negative 1) over (5) (9) (negative 2) EndFraction

Step 2 StartFraction negative 12 over negative 90 EndFraction

Step 3 StartFraction 12 over 90 EndFraction

Step 4 StartFraction 2 over 15 EndFraction

In which step did his first error occur?

step one is the answer its the right answer for me on egde

Step-by-step explanation:

mental cunning

explanation:

he is often referred to as a man of twists and turns

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
