1a ? 1 b if a < b, which symbol makes the sentence true? a) ≤ b) < c) = d) >

incomplete question. how do you expect anyone to you when you do not post the question in its entirety?

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
