Answer:  The correct option is (D) 196608.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the 9th term of the following sequence :

3,    -12,    48,    -192,    .    .    .

Let a(n) denote the n-th term of the given sequence.

Then, a(1) = 3,  a(2) = -12,  a(3) = 48,  a(4) = -192,   .   .   .

We see that

\dfrac{a(2)}{a(1)}=\dfrac{-12}{3}=-4,\\\\\\\dfrac{a(3)}{a(2)}=\dfrac{48}{-12}=-4,\\\\\\\dfrac{a(4)}{a(3)}=\dfrac{-192}{48}=-4,~~.~~.~~.

So, we get

\dfrac{a(2)}{a(1)}=\dfrac{a(3)}{a(2)}=\dfrac{a(4)}{a(3)}=~~.~~.~~.~~=-4.

That is, the given sequence is a GEOMETRIC one with first term a = 3  and common ratio d= -4.

We know that

the n-th term of an geometric  sequence with first term a and common ratio r is given by

a(n)=ar^{n-1}.

Therefore, the 9th term of the given sequence is

a(9)=ar^{9-1}=3\times(-4)^8=3\times 65536=196608.

Thus, the 9th term of the given sequence is 196608.

Option (D) is CORRECT.

The answer should be 6! all you have to do is plug the numbers into the equation!
it would be like this:
-1^2+3^2+(-1)-3
doing all of that would equal 6!
