If the second term in a geometric sequence is -8 and the common ratio is 2, what is the value of the third term? -4 -10 -16 -6

OpenStudy (natelee15):

A or D?

OpenStudy (twwc960):

No, it's C, -16. Any term in a geometric sequence can be obtained from the previous term by multiplying by the common ratio. So if the second term is -8, the third term is -8x2 which is -16.
