Question 1058766
The n-th term in the sequence is given by:


-(-2)^n


The first term corresponds to n = 1: -(-2)^1 = -(-2) = 2


The next five terms are:

n= 2:  -4
n = 3:  8
n = 4: -16
n = 5:, 32
n = 6: -64


For the remaining terms, half will be negative and thus will be less than 100, while the other
half will be greater than 100.


The total number that are less than 100 will be:


6 + (100 - 6)/2 = 53


Solution: There will be 53 terms that are less than 100.
