-1,572,864

Step-by-step explanation:

notice that each new term is found by multiplying the previous term by -2.  Thus, the common ratio is -2.  The first term is -3.

The general formula for a geom. sequence is a(n) = a(1) · r^(n-1), where r is the common ratio and a(1) is the first term.

In this problem,

a(20) = -3 · (-2)^(20 - 1), or

         = -3 · (-2)^19, or

         = -3 · 524288, or

          = -1,572,864  (Note:  this is negative)
