Answer:  -19531250

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the nth terms of a geometric or exponential sequence is

 nth term = arⁿ ⁻ ¹ , where n = 10th terms, and a = 10

To find the common ratio, we divide the second term by the first term

r  = -50/10

  = -5

Now substitute for those values in the formula

T₁₀ = 10(-5)¹⁰ ⁻ 1

     =  10(-5)⁹

     =  10 x -(5)⁹

     =  10 x  -1953125

     = -19,531,250

Therefore the 10th terms of the geometric sequence

    = -19531250
