Answer:

7th term is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, we have the nth term of a geometric sequence as:

Tn = ar^(n-1)

where a is the first term

n is the number of terms

T4 = ar^3

64 = -4096 * r^3

r^3 = -64/4096

r^3 = -1/64

r^3 = (-1/4)^3

r = -1/4

The 7th term is:

T7 = ar^6

T7 = -4,096 * (-1/4)^6

T7 = -1

The 7th term is -1
