What is a possible value for the missing term of the geometric sequence? 1250 , _ , 50 ,

Hence, the possible missing number is:

250 or -250

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the missing term in the given geometric sequence.

1250 , _ , 50 , ...

Let a denote the first term of the sequence and r denote the common ratio of the geometric sequence then the geometric sequence is defined as:

Let:

so that means:

so, the possible missing number is calculated at two values of r.

Hence, the missing number is:

or
