Well, first find the common ratio, which is 2. Your first term is 4 so your equation is \[{(-1)^{n-1}}4 (2)^{n-1}\]
\[8^{3}\] or 512
nope, exponential always comes first so \[4 \times 2^6\]
so256
should be just check by plugging in the values for n: n=1 should be 4, n=2 should be -8, n=3 should be 16 etc
