Q. Find the

8^{\text{th}}

term in the sequence

\newline

-\frac{1}{2},-1,-2,-4,\dots

\newline

Hint: Write a formula to help you.

Identify pattern: Step $1$ : Identify the pattern in the sequence. $\newline$ The sequence given is $-1$ / $2$ , $-1$ , $-2$ , $-4$ , ... $\newline$ Notice that each term is twice the previous term. This is a geometric sequence with the first term $a = -\frac{1}{2}$ and the common ratio $r = 2$ .
Write formula: Step $2$ : Write the formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence. $\newline$ The nth term $a_n$ of a geometric sequence can be found using the formula: $\newline$ $a_n = a \cdot r^{(n-1)}$ $\newline$ where $a$ is the first term and $r$ is the common ratio.
Substitute values: Step $3$ : Substitute the values into the formula to find the $8$ th term. $\newline$ Using the formula from Step $2$ : $\newline$ $a_8 = -\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2^{(8-1)}$ $\newline$ $a_8 = -\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2^7$ $\newline$ $a_8 = -\frac{1}{2} \cdot 128$ $\newline$ $a_8 = -64$
