What expression is equivalent to 2^-3/2^-5?

1 answer:

6 0

2^2 , or 4
since the exponents have the same base, we can subtract the exponent of the numerator by the exponent in the denominator.

So 2^-3 - 2^-5 = 2^(-3-(-5)) = 2^2

The new exponent is 2 because -3-(-5) is equal to 2.

Find the oth term of the geometric sequence 7, 14, 28, ...

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The nth term of the geometric sequence 7, 14, 28, ... is:

$a_n=7\cdot \:2^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric sequence

7, 14, 28, ...

We know that a geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r' and is defined by

$a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}$

where a₁ is the first term and r is the common ratio

Computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms

$\frac{14}{7}=2,\:\quad \frac{28}{14}=2$

The ratio of all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

$r=2$

now substituting r = 2 and a₁ = 7 in the nth term

$a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}$

$a_n=7\cdot \:2^{n-1}$

Therefore, the nth term of the geometric sequence 7, 14, 28, ... is:

$a_n=7\cdot \:2^{n-1}$
