Math Problem Statement
What is the common ratio for the sequence?A.-2 B. -1/2 C.1/2 D.2
Solution
To determine the common ratio for a geometric sequence, we need to divide any term by its preceding term. If you have the sequence, please provide the terms so I can help calculate the common ratio.
However, if the terms of the sequence are not provided, let's assume it's a geometric sequence where we can use one of the options (A, B, C, or D) based on further information.
If you have the sequence, feel free to share it for a more precise answer.
