Given:

The given expression to find the nth term of the sequence is

The first term of the sequence is

We need to determine the third term of the sequence.

Second term:

The second term of the sequence can be determined by substituting n = 2 in the nth term of the sequence.

Thus, we have;

Thus, the second term of the sequence is -40.

Third term:

The third term of the sequence can be determined by substituting n = 3 in the nth term of the sequence.

Thus, we have;

Thus, the third term of the sequence is 120.

correct answer:

b.(19,-2)
