Answer:
A1 = 18
A(n) = A (n-1) -2
Step-by-step explanation:
N represents the number in a sequence and the difference in the sequence is -2 since each time the number is listed in the sequence it is divide by 2.
The answer is the first one because 4 feet 5 inches times 40 is 176 feet and 8 inches
Because you have to go in the order of PEMDAS, parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. From what you are saying, 'why you must simplify 3 to the second power first' it seems that you have no parenthesis, so you move onto what is next, which is exponents, in this case, 3 to the power of two.
