    The next two terms for the geometric sequence are 250 and - 1,250

    Step-by-step explanation:

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

    - 2, 10, - 50 ...

    Aₓ = Aₓ₋₁ * - 5; A₁ = - 2

    A₁ = - 2

    A₂ = A₁ * - 5 = - 2 * - 5 = 10

    A₃ = A₂ * - 5 = 10 * - 5 = - 50

    A₄ = A₃ * - 5 = - 50 * - 5 = 250

    A₅ = A₄ * - 5 = 250 * - 5 = - 1,250

    The next two terms for the geometric sequence are 250 and - 1,250
