The 6th term of the sequence is 4

How to determine the 6th term?

The given parameters are:

a1 = -4096

a4 = 64

The nth term of the sequence is:

a(n) = a1 * r^(n-1)

So, we have:

a4 = a1 * r^3

This gives

r^3 = a4/a1

Substitute the known values

r^3 = 64/-4096

Evaluate

r^3 = -1/64

Take the cube roots

r = -1/4

The 6th term is

a(6) =a1 * r^5

This gives

a(6) = -4096 * (-1/4)^5

Evaluate

a(6) = 4

Hence, the 6th term of the sequence is 4
