The first, fourth and eight terms of the given sequence are the ones in the last option.

-2, -250, -156,250

How to find the terms in the given sequence?

We know that the n-th term of the given sequence is given by the formula:

A(n) = -2*5ˣ⁻¹

The first term is what we get when x = 1, then the first term is:

A(1) = -2*5⁰ = -2

The fourth term is what we get when we use x = 4, we will get:

A(4) = -2*5⁴⁻¹ = -2*5³ = -250

The eight term is what we get when x = 8

A(8) = -2*5⁸⁻¹ = -2*5⁷ = -156,250

Then the correct option is the last one.
