Answer:

The 4th term in the sequence is -18.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a sequence is given by the relation:

[tex]a(n)=-6-4(n-1)[/tex]

Compute the 4th term in the sequence as follows:

[tex]a(4)=-6-4(4-1)[/tex]

       [tex]=-6-4\cdot (4)-4\cdot(-1)\\\\=-6-16+4\\\\=-18[/tex]

Thus, the 4th term in the sequence is -18.
