After the eighth term, the sequence is monotonicly increasing. Moreover the terms are bounded above by 0 (since all terms are negative). That proves the sequence converges.

To prove that the limit is 0, use the definition of limit. If e > 0, show how to choose N so that if n > N, then -e < (-8^n)/n! < 0.
