Answer 1

4374, -1458, 486, -162, 54, _18__ , _6__

Answer 2

Given:

The series 4374, -1458, 486, -162, 54, ___ , ___

To Find:

Next two terms of series

Solution:

From given information, we get that

4374/-1458 = -3

-1458/486 = -3

486 /-162 = -3

-162/54 = -3

so, if we divide the previous term by -3 we get the next term,

∴ next term will be 54/ -3 =  -18

                                -18 / -3 = 6

Hence, the next term of series are -18 and 6.
