(iv) 192, – 96, 48, – 24, .... (1 mark)

(iv) 192, – 96, 48, – 24, .... (1 mark)

Sol. t1 = 192

t2 = 192 / –2 = – 96

t3 = –96 / – 2 = 48

t4 = 48 / – 2 = – 24

t5 = –24 / – 2 = 12

t6 = 12 / – 2 = – 6

t7 = – 6 / – 2 = 3

t8 = 3/ – 2 = 3/ – 2


∴  The next four terms of the sequence are 12, – 6, 3 and 3/–2
