The rule for this sequence is 'multiply by -6'.

Verification ↓

-3*(-6)[tex]\stackrel\checkmark{=}[/tex]18

18*(-6)[tex]\stackrel\checkmark{=}[/tex]-108

So the rule for the sequence is 'multiply by -6'

And the Common ratio is -6.

Hope that made sense !!

[tex]\textbf{Heya !}[/tex]

✏✏[tex]\large\textsf{Given:-}[/tex]

  • The first 3 terms of a sequence :- [tex]\large\textsf{-3, 18, -108}[/tex]

✏✏ [tex]\large\textsf{To Find:-}}[/tex]

  • The rule for the sequence = ?

✏✏ [tex]\large\textsf{Solution Steps:-}[/tex]

What do we multiply each term of the sequence by to arrive at the next one ? we can find that by dividing the last term of the sequence, -108, by the middle term, 18:-

[tex]\large{\sf{\longmapsto{-108\div18=-6}[/tex]

Now divide 18 by the first term (-3) :-

[tex]\longmapsto\sf{18\div-3=-6}[/tex]

we arrived at -6 twice, So the rule for this sequence is:- "Multiply by -6, And you'll arrive at the next term"

`hope it helped ~ :D
