Answer: - 5120

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to find the common ratio , since it is a geometric sequence.

common ratio ( r ) = second term / first term

r = -10/-5

r = 2

Using the formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence ;

[tex]t_{n}[/tex] = a[tex]r^{n-1}[/tex]

The 11th term will thus be:

[tex]t_{11}[/tex] = -5 X [tex]2^{10}[/tex]

= -5 x 1024

= -5120
