Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: the answer is f(x) = n*(-2) ratio is the wrong word to use, it is for contolled variation in probability. a sequence is controlled by what is known as a function - f(x) is the symbol for a functionStep-by-step explanation:the following number of the previous one in the sequence is derived by the function f(x)=n*(-2)2 x -2 = -4 (positive x negative = negative)-4 Γ— -2 = 8 (negative x negative = positive)8 x -2 = -16 (positive x negative = negative)so in the sequence, the trend of -,+ double will go on
