Question

16, -6.4, 2.56, ..., 6th term The 6th term of the sequence is

Answer 1

Answer:

the 6th term is = -0.16384

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice this is a geometric sequence with first term 16, and common ratio (-0.4)

Therefore the first 6 terms of the sequence are:

a1 = 16

a2 = 16 * (-0.4) = -6.4

a3 = -6.4 * (-0.4) = 2.56

a4 = 2.56 * (-0.4) = -1.024

a5 = -1.024 * (-0,4) = 0.4096

a6 = 0.4096 * (-0.4) = -0.16384

The the 6th term is = -0.16384
