Answer:

10th term is 10

Explanation:

The nth term for finding the geometric progression is expressed as;

Tn = ar^n-1

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms

a11 = ar^11-1

a11 = ar^10

Since a11 = -5 and r = -1/2

-5 = a(-1/2)^10

-5 = a(1/1024)

a= 1024 * -5

a = -5120

Nest is to get the 10th terms

a10 = ar^9

a10 = -5120 * (-1/2)^9

a10 = -5120 * -1/512

a10 = 10

Hence the 10th term of the sequence is 10
