In the geometric sequence with a first term of 6 and a second term of -6, what is the 205^th term?

COmmon ratio    r      1st term 6    multiplied by common ratio yields second term

                                        so   r = -1

this sequence just bounces back and forth between  6    and  -6  

    even numbered terms are negative  (like the second term above)

       odd numbered terms are positive

205 th term would be   +6
