To find the 10th term of the sequence, we first need to determine the pattern.
Looking at the sequence, we can see that each term is half of the previous term, with a negative sign alternating. This means the pattern is multiplying by -0.5 each time.
Therefore, to find the 10th term, we can start with the first term 16 and continue the pattern:
16, -8, 4, -2, 1, -0.5, 0.25, -0.125, 0.0625, -0.03125
The 10th term of the sequence is -0.03125.
What is the 10th term of the following sequence?
16, -8, 4, -2, …
