To get -4 from 1, we must either subtract 5 from 1 or mult. 1 by -4. Unfortunately subtracting 5 from -4 does not result in 9, and mult -4 by -4 does not result in -16. So neither "works" in predicting the next term.
Can you think of any other experiments to do that would help you discover the pattern 1, -4, 9, -16?
Apply the negative exponent rule, so move the expression to the denominator to make the exponents positive.
Your answer is:

Answer:
$2,323.2
Step-by-step explanation:
A = P(1 + r/n)^nt
Where,
A = future value = ?
P = present value = 2,000
r = interest rate = 5% = 0.05
n = number of periods = 12
t = time = 3 years
A = P(1 + r/n)^nt
= 2,000(1 + 0.05/12)^12*3
= 2,000( 1 + 0.00417)^36
= 2,000( 1.00417)^36
= 2,000(1.1616)
= 2,323.2
A = $2,323.2
According to the equation located here: https://www.1728.org/glwarmng.htm burning one gallon of gasoline produces 19.3 pounds of carbon dioxide.
So, if a car gets 37 miles per gallon and if it travels 400 miles, it will use 10.81 gallons of gasoline and will produce 19.3 * 10.81 = 208.63 pounds of carbon dioxide.
