Given sequence: -8, 4, -1, 1/4, , , ?
Step 1: Check the pattern between terms
4 ÷ -8 = -1/2
-1 ÷ 4 = -1/4
1/4 ÷ -1 = -1/4
Step 2: Identify the multiplying factor
-8 × (-1/2) = 4
4 × (-1/4) = -1
-1 × (-1/4) = 1/4
Step 3: Continue the pattern
1/4 × (-1/4) = -1/16
-1/16 × (-1/4) = 1/64
1/64 × (-1/4) = -1/256
Answer: -1/16, 1/64, -1/256
