    Step-by-step explanation:

    In a geometric sequence, the nth term is

    T_n = ar^ (n-1)

    a = first term

    r = common ratio which can be gotten by dividing second term by first term, third term by second term etc

    Therefore

    a = 16

    r = - 3.2 : 16

    r = - 0.2

    T_7 = ar^ (7-1)

    T_7 = ar^6

    T_7 = 16[ (-0.2) ^6]

    T_7 = 16 (0.000064)

    T_7 = 0.001024
