Exercise 44 Page 54

What is the change between pairs of consecutive terms?

- 7500 and 37 500

Practice makes perfect
By observing the change that occurs between each consecutive term, we can describe the pattern of the sequence. Here, we see that the common ratio from one term to the next is multiplying by - 5.

- 12 * (- 5) →60 * (- 5) →- 300 * (- 5) →1500 To find the next two terms in the sequence, we will extend this pattern twice. - 12 * (- 5) →60 * (- 5) →- 300 * (- 5) →1500 * (- 5) → - 7500 * (- 5) → 37 500
