Antoine Dyer · Answer 1

If the sequence has a common ration, that means that you multiply this number from the last term to get the example. So the third term is - 4 (4) = - 16. Fourth term is - 16 (4) which is - 64. Fifth term is - 64 (4) which is - 256. Hence, the answer is the fifth term in the sequence is - 256.
