$a_{16} = - 240$ $a_(16)=-240$

Explanation:

$substitute n =16 into the nth term formula$ $"substitute n =16 into the nth term formula"$

$\Rightarrow a_{16} = {(- 1)}^{15} [16 \times 15]$ $rArra_(16)=(-1)^(15)[16xx15]$

$\times \times x = - 1 \times 240 = - 240$ $color(white)(xxxxx)=-1xx240=-240$
