    200,-1000,5000

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First we need to find the common ratio

    Take the second term and divide by the first

    -10/2 = - 5

    To find the 5th term take the 4th term and multiply by the common ratio

    -40*-5 = 200

    To find the 6th term take the 5th term and multiply by the common ratio

    200 * -5 = - 1000

    To find the 7th term take the 6th term and multiply by the common ratio

    -1000*-5 = 5000

    80, - 160, 320

    Step-by-step explanation:

    5,-10,20,-40

    It's a Geometric sequence with:

    r = - 10/5 = - 2

    -40 * - 2 = 80

    80 * - 2 = - 160

    -160 * - 2 = 320
