We have been given the following series:
-8 9 __ 16
Lets try and rewrite this as follows:
(-2)³ (3)² ___ (4)²
Now the progression clearly tells us that we need to have one less than the last number in brackets (parathesis); we can also tell that it needs to be a negative number and also that we will need to cube it (in other words raise it to a power of 3)
So here is the series we have now:
(-2)³ (3)² (-3)³ (4)²
(-3)³ is nothing but -27 and this will be our answer.
