Well,  since we know is a geometric sequence, we can always get the common ratio  of it by simply dividing one value by the one behind it... so let's do so, with say hmm -32 and 8  -32/8 = -4  <-- our common ratio

the first term is -2

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\&#10;a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;n=n^{th}\ term\\&#10;a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\&#10;r=\textit{common ratio}\\&#10;----------\\&#10;a_1=-2\\&#10;r=-4&#10;\end{cases}\implies a_n=-2(-4)^{n-1}
