Trying to do this problem in math and I need some help
The intructions are

"Give the starting value and constant multiplier for each sequence. Then find the fifth term."

1. b.  -21,44.1,-92.61,....
    e. -5, 1.5, -0.45,....

I'm not asking you for the answers that I need
These are just some extra problems.

If that was true they wouldn't exist. There are large and very active communities full of students, teachers, and math enthusiasts on the Internet.

You are guaranteed to get an answer there. Good luck getting any response here.

Divide the second value by the first value. To check if the multiplier you then get is correct multiply it by the second value. If you get the third value it should be right. Then multiply the third value by the multiplier to get fourth and then multiply the fourth by the multiplier to get the fifth value.
The starting value is simply the first value in the sequence.
If you have to calculate backwards, like using the second value to find the first value, then you divide the second value by the multiplier.

I hope that's what you were asking for and I don't look handicapped for typing that all up.
