To find the 8th term of the sequence described by the formula \( a_n = -4n \), we substitute \( n = 8 \) into the formula.
\[
a_8 = -4(8)
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
a_8 = -32
\]
Thus, the 8th term of the sequence is \(-32\).
\[
a_8 = -4(8)
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
a_8 = -32
\]
Thus, the 8th term of the sequence is \(-32\).
