Answer:

Explanation:

To find the 19th term of a geometric sequence, we use the formula:

nth term = first term * (common ratio)^(n-1)

In this case, the first term is -6 and the common ratio is -2. We want to find the 19th term, so n = 19.

19th term = -6 * (-2)^(19-1)

Simplifying the exponent:

19th term = -6 * (-2)^18

Evaluating the expression:

19th term = -6 * 262144

19th term = -1572864

Therefore, the 19th term of the geometric sequence is -1572864.
