Standard formula for arithmetic sequence:
an = a0 + d(n-1)

if we use the two terms given, setting a12 as starting term and a45 as the end term an.

170 = 38 + 33d 
170 - 38 = 33d
132 = 33d

132/33 = d
This is the common difference, use it to find the first term.

38 = a0 + (132/33)(12-1)
38 = a0 + (132/33)(11)
38 = a0 + 132/3
38 - 132/3 = a0
38 - 44 = a0
-6 = a0

The starting term is -6

F you just want to see the really short way, just skip down to AAAAAAAAAAAA

so, here is the long explanation
exponential properties
x^{-m}= \frac{1}{x^m}

don't forget pemdas
2x^2=2(x^2)

so
\frac{2x^{-4}}{3xy}=\frac{2 \frac{1}{x^4} }{3xy}=  \frac{2}{3x^5y}


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
so we see
the original equatio is
\frac{2x^{-4}}{3xy}

remember
\frac{ab}{cd} =( \frac{a}{c})( \frac{b}{d})

so we can seperate the constants
\frac{ab}{cd} =( \frac{2}{3})( \frac{x^{-4}}{xy})

we know that the placeholders cannot affet the position of the constants unless they are grouped together which they are not

terfor the answer must have 2/3 in it

the only one that hsa that is A
