Step-by-step explanation:
The filling in of the formula for the n-th term is pretty straightforward. The attachment shows how simple it is.
The 7th term is found by evaluating the expression for n=7.
a₇ = 192
(1 - 2x)⁴
(1 - 2x)(1 - 2x)(1 - 2x)(1 - 2x)
[1(1 - 2x) - 2x(1 - 2x)][1(1 - 2x) - 2x(1 - 2x)]
[1(1) - 1(2x) - 2x(1) - 2x(-2x)][1(1) - 1(2x) - 2x(1) - 2x(-2x)]
(1 - 2x - 2x + 4x²)(1 - 2x - 2x + 4x²)
(1 - 4x + 4x²)(1 - 4x + 4x²)
1(1 - 4x + 4x²) - 4x(1 - 4x + 4x²) + 4x²(1 - 4x + 4x²)
1(1) - 1(4x) + 1(4x²) - 4x(1) - 4x(-4x) - 4x(4x²) + 4x²(1) - 4x²(4x) + 4x²(4x²)
1 - 4x + 4x² - 4x + 16x² - 16x³ + 4x² - 16x³ + 16x⁴
1 - 4x - 4x + 4x² + 16x² + 4x² - 16x³ - 16x³ + 16x⁴
1 - 8x + 24x² - 32x³ + 16x⁴
First distribute the 2 through the parenthses on the right side.
So we have y - 4 = 2x + 8.
In slope-intercept form, the y is by itself on the left side.
So we add 4 to isolate the y on the left to get y = 2x + 12.
So in slope-intercept form, our equation is y = 2x + 12.
