Answer:

[tex]U_{n+1}=U_{n}-4[/tex]

Next term = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\text{let} \ \left( U_{n}\right) \text{be the sequence which we are looking for}[/tex]

0-4 = -4

(-4)-0 = -4

(-8)-(-4) = -4

(-12)-(-8) = -4

It’s clear that Un is an arithmetic sequence of common difference r = -4

Then

[tex]U_{n+1}=U_{n}-4[/tex]

Next term :

[tex]U_{6}=U_{5}-4 = -12-4=-16[/tex]
