Answer:
10th term is 10
Step-by-step 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
