6x^-2 means
6 times x^-2
rmemeber
x^-m=1/(x^m)
6 times x^-2=6 times 1/(x^2)=6/(x^2)=
This is the distributive property:
<em>ab</em> + <em>ac</em> = <em>a</em> (<em>b</em> + <em>c</em>)
In this case, you have
<em>a</em> - <em>a</em> (1.2⁴)
and <em>a</em> is a common factor to both <em>a</em> and <em>a</em> (1.2)⁴, so you can pull it out as
<em>a</em> (1 - 1.2⁴)
Answer:
128
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the sequence is geometric (it multiplies the previous number each time). The nth term sequence would be 
Because the sequence multiplies by 3 each time, The base number in that equation would be 
.
So 
of the equation would be:
.
Compare the 2 equations:
4, 12, 36
3, 9 ,27
The difference between the 2 equations is: 1, 3, 9 which itself is a geometric sequence so the nth term of this new equation is: 
.
Combine these 2 equations together and you get:
.
