Why do we stretch the sequence up to 6 terms? I do not seem to see why 6. Is there any indication implied? And if we go to 6, why not stretch to 10?Why did we just stop to -9 (4 terms)

Moussa, we stop when we have enough to answer the question, which is E, "more than four". Continuing the series doesn't change the answer.
