Common ratio = 8/2 = 32/8 = 4
10th term = a1*r^(n - 1) where a1 = 2 , r = 4 and n = 10
= 2 * 4^9
= 524,288
Answer:
24
P: parentheses (12 - 8) = 4
E: exponents (3^2) = 9
M: multiplication (12-8)/2 * 4 = 8
D: division (12-8)/2 = 2
A: addition (7 + 9 + 8) = 24
S: subtraction (blank)
Following the order of operations, our final answer is: 24
