F(n): 12, -36, 108, -324, 972

Aarithmetic sequence; common difference is -48

Barithmetic sequence; common difference is 144

Cgeometric sequence; common ratio is -3

Dgeometric sequence; common ratio is 3

Verified Answer :

The answer is C) geometric sequence; common ratio is -3.

TSO

972/ -324 = -3
-324/ 108 = -3
108/ -36 = -3
-36/ 12 = -3

Geometric series means multiplying a common ratio to the next number.

The answer is C) geometric sequence; common ratio is -3.
