12 / -4 = -3, also -36 / 12 = -3.

So the sequence goes:

-4, -4(-3), -4(-3)(-3), ... or -4, -4(-3), -4(-3)^2...

So the recursive formula to find any term would be -4(-3)^n, where n = 0 for the first term.

So for the 5th term, n = 4 and so:
-4(-3)^4 = -324.

You can check as it would be -36 * -3 * -3 = -36*9 = -324.
