Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A recursive formula allows us to calculate any term in the sequence from the previous term.

These are the terms of a geometric sequence with r being the common ratio between consecutive terms.

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 8 ÷ 4 = 16 ÷ - 8 = - 2

Multiplying a particular term by - 2 gives the next term in the sequence.

Hence recursive formula is

a_{n+1} = - 2 a_{n} with a₁ = - 2
