what is the common ratio of the geometric series below?

Question

24+(-8)+8/3+(-8/9)+....

-3
-1/3
1/3
3

Answer 1

To find the common ratio of a geometric series, you divide any term in the sequence by the previous term.

In the given series, dividing each term by the previous term, we have:

(-8) / 24 = -1/3

(8/3) / (-8) = -1/3

(-8/9) / (8/3) = -1/3

Therefore, the common ratio of the geometric series is -1/3.
