what is the common ratio of the geometric series below?
24+(-8)+8/3+(-8/9)+....
-3
-1/3
1/3
3
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.
