What is commutative property in rational number ? please explain.

Commutative property of addition of rational numbers: Two rational numbers can be added in any order. Thus for any two rational numbers a/b and c/d, we have. (a/b + c/d) = (c/d + a/b)

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
