Answer:

[tex]T_n=-1(-5)^n^-^1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

A geometric sequence;

-2,10,-50

Required to determine the nth term

The nth term in a geometric sequence is given by the formula;

[tex]T_n=a_1r^n^-^1[/tex]

where [tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term and r is the common ratio;

In this case;

[tex]a_1=-2[/tex]

r = 10 ÷ -2

  = -5

Therefore;

To get the nth term in the given geometric sequence we use;

[tex]T_n=-1(-5)^n^-^1[/tex]

Thus, the nth term is [tex]T_n=-1(-5)^n^-^1[/tex]
