Answer:

The 8th term of geometric sequence is -8748

ie., a_{8}=-8748

Step-by-step explanation:

Given geometric sequence is 4,-12,36,...

Geometric sequence can be written as

a_{1},a_{2},a_{3},..,

a_{1}=4=a

a_{2}=-12=ar

a_{3}=36=ar^2

and so on.

common ratio is r=\frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}

r=\frac{-12}{4}

r=-3

r=\frac{a_{3}}{a_{2}}

r=\frac{36}{-12}

r=-3

Therefore r=-3

Geometric sequence of nth term is a_{n}=ar^{n-1}

To find the 8th term:

a_{8}=ar^{8-1}

a_{8}=ar^{7}

here a=4 and r=-3

a_{8}=ar^{7}

=4\times (-3)^7

=4\times (-2187)

=-8748

a_{8}=-8748

Therefore the 8th term of geometric sequence is -8748
