The first three terms of a geometric sequence are as follows.
64, 32, 16
Find the next two terms of this sequence.
Common ratio:
32/64 = 16/32 = 1/2
Multiply any term by the common ratio to get the next term.

To find the next two terms of a geometric sequence, we need to determine the common ratio (r) of the sequence first.
1. To find the common ratio (r), divide the second term by the first term:
r = 32 / 64 = 0.5
2. Now that we know the common ratio is 0.5, we can find the next two terms.
The third term (T3) can be calculated by multiplying the second term by the common ratio:
T3 = 32 * 0.5 = 16
The fourth term (T4) can be calculated by multiplying the third term by the common ratio:
T4 = 16 * 0.5 = 8
Therefore, the next two terms of the geometric sequence are 16 and 8.
