Try it
(-2)^4 means -2 times itself 4 times so
-2 times -2 times -2 times -2=(-2 times -2) times (-2 times -2) remember that negative time negative=positive so
(4) times (4)=16
correct

What are the next three terms of the sequence below?

vichka [17]

Answer:

64, 256, 1024 (D)

Step-by-step Explanation:

The sequence is following some rule. And the rule is: Multiplying the term with 4 to get the next term. Like:

$1 × 4 = 4$
$4 \times 4 = 16$

Similarly, the next terms are:

$16 \times 4 = 64$
$64 \times 4 = 256$
$256 \times 4 = 1024$

The terms are 64, 256, 1024 which matches with Option D. And that's the correct answer

2. Meryl spends a total of $68.82 for 2 pairs of 68.8

kupik [55]

Answer:

The cost of each pair of sneakers is $33.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Meryl spends a total $68.82 for 2 pairs of sneakers with the same cost.

If the sales tax is $5.32 and she also uses a coupon for $3.00 off her purchase.

First subtract the sales tax from the spend amount.

$\$68.82- \$5.32=\$63.5$

She use a coupon for $3.00 OFF.

$\$63.5+\$3=\$66.5$

$66.5 was the cost of 2 pairs of sneakers before using the coupon.

Now divide $66.5 by 2 so that we can find the cost of one pair of sneakers.

$\frac{\$66.5}{2} =\$33.25$

Hence, the cost of each pair of sneakers is $33.25.
