Answer: c) 88
Explanation:
8, -16, 32, ...
We can see that each previous term is multiplied by -2
so the next two terms will be 32(-2) = -64 and -64(-2) = 128
So the first 5 terms of the sequence is: 8, -16, 32, -64, 128
Add the positive numbers and the negative numbers, then find their sum.
8 + 32 + 128 = 168
-16 + (-64) = -80
Sum = 88
