Respuesta :

The second option: 512, -2048
You multiply number before by 4 to get the next number.

Answer:

512,-2048

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a pattern

2,-8,32,1-28,..

We have to find two next numbers in this given pattern

[tex]a_=2,a_2=-8,a_3=32,a_4=-128[/tex]

Next term is -4 times the previous term

[tex]a_n=-4a_{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_5=-4(-128)=512[/tex]

[tex]a_6=-4(512)=-2048[/tex]

Hence, option B is true.

Answer:512,-2048
