To find the common ratio of the sequence, we divide any term by its preceding term.
In this case, if we divide each term by its preceding term, we get:
-38 ÷ 19 = -2
76 ÷ -38 = -2
Therefore, the common ratio of the geometric sequence 19, −38, 76 is -2.
In this case, if we divide each term by its preceding term, we get:
-38 ÷ 19 = -2
76 ÷ -38 = -2
Therefore, the common ratio of the geometric sequence 19, −38, 76 is -2.
