Answer:

The next two terms for the geometric sequence are - 108 and - 324.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's find the next two terms for the geometric sequence which first three terms are as follows:

- 4, 12, - 36.....

Aₓ = Aₓ₋₁ * 3 ; A₁ = - 4

A₁ = - 4

A₂ = A₁ * 3 = - 4 * 3 = - 12

A₃ = A₂ * 3 = - 12 * 3 = - 36

A₄ = A₃ * 3 = - 36 * 3 = - 108

A₅ = A₄ * 3 = - 108  * 3 = - 324

The next two terms for the geometric sequence are - 108 and - 324.
