Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
there is a common ratio between consecutive terms , that is
- 12 ÷ - 3 = - 48 ÷ - 12 = - 192 ÷ - 48 = 4
this indicates the sequence is geometric with nth term
= a₁
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
here a₁ = - 3 and r = 4 , then
a₈ = - 3 × = - 3 × 16,384 = - 49,152
