What is the difference between an arithmetic sequence and a geometric sequence?
In an arithmetic sequence the same number (positive or negative) is added to each term to get to the next term.In a geometric sequence the same number (positive or negative) is multiplied into each term to get to the next term.A geometric sequence uses multiplicative and divisive formulas while an arithmetic uses additive and subtractive formulas.
What is the next number in the sequence 125 -25 5 -1....?
This is a geometric sequence. Each number is multiplied by the same constant, to get the next number. If you divide any number by the previous one, you can find out what this constant is.
What is the next in line Fibonacci-like sequence 5 5 10 15?
25 It is the Fibonacci sequence multiplied by 5.
What is a now next equation?
an equation that shows how to calculate the value of the next term in a sequence from the value of the current term
What are the next three terms in the sequence 2 -6 18 -54?
The pattern looks like the previous number is multiplied by -3, hence the next number in the sequence would be (-54) x (-3) = 162
What comes next -5 25 -125 625?
Each value is being multiplied by -5. The next value will be -3125.

what is the pattern in 5,10,20,40.... is it multiply by 2?
Yes, each number is multiplied by 2 therefore the next 2 numbers in the sequence would be 80 & 160
What is the next in line Fibonacci-like sequence 5 5 10 15?
25 It is the Fibonacci sequence multiplied by 5.
What is the missing sequence 27 22.5 18 13.5?
It is reducing by 4.5 each time, so the next value would be 9.
What is a now next equation?
an equation that shows how to calculate the value of the next term in a sequence from the value of the current term
What are the next three terms in the sequence 2 -6 18 -54?
The pattern looks like the previous number is multiplied by -3, hence the next number in the sequence would be (-54) x (-3) = 162
A number multiplied by a variable?
A number, multiplied by a variable is part of an Algebraic equation. A person can find out the value of the variable if they divide each side by the number that is next to the variable. For example, if the equation is 5x = 60, divide each side by 5 and the answer is x = 12.
Which sequence is a geometric sequence having 4 as its first term and 3 as the common ratio?
You start with the number 4, then multiply with the "common ratio" to get the next term. That, in turn, is multiplied by the common ratio to get the next term, etc.
What are the next three terms in sequence 0.05 0.4 3.2 25.6 Each number in the sequence is 8 times the?
Each number in the sequence is 8 times the previous term, hence the next three terms are: 204.8, 1638.4 and 13107.2
What is the next number in this sequence 13 8 3?
The sequence is decreasing by a factor of 5 each time, so the next number would be -2.
