5•2•5)-2 2
10•5)-2 2
50-2 2
48•2
96
So the answer is 96
We need to start from the innermost parenthesis and work our way out.
The first parenthesis is
. These are not like terms because one involves a variable, while the other is a constant term. Two terms are summable if they involve the same power(s) of the same variable(s).
So, we can take one step outwards, and we arrive to the square brackets. We have

and 2z and -13z are like terms, so we can sum them:

Finally we arrive to the whole expression, which is

Because, again, 5z and 11z were like terms.
To find this out, use a percent proportion, use cross products, and solve the equation.

So, the percent tip is 14%.
PART A
The geometric sequence is defined by the equation

To find the first three terms, we put n=1,2,3
When n=1,



When n=2,



When n=3



The first three terms are,

PART B
The common ratio can be found using any two consecutive terms.
The common ratio is given by,



PART C
To find

We substitute n=11 into the equation of the geometric sequence.

This implies that,


Answer:
I think it's A
