In the geometric pattern 16, 4,-2... Find the 10th term

Answer 1

16,4,-2

16-12 = 4

4-6 = -2

-2-3 =-5

-5 -3/2 = -6.5

-6.5 -3/4 = -7.25

-7.25 - 3/8 = -7.625

-7.625-3/16=-7.8125

-7.8125-3/32 = -7.90625

-7.90625 - 3/64 = 7.953125 = 10th term

the sequence approaches but never reaches -8 as a limit

the sequence is not arithmetic or geometric

there is no common ratio or difference in terms
