When you multiply powers, they add, and when you divide them they subtract.
So I would first add the 2^a + 2^b +2^c to get 2^(a+b+c)
Then, divide by 2^(a+b). Because when you divide powers they subtract, you will be taking away the (a+b) from the (a+b+c) and you will be left with c on its own.
The answer is 2^c
Answer:
C. c = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
you must get c by itself. you have to divide both sides by 10. this gets rid of the 10c and keeps both sides equal
-40/10 = c
c = -4
1414 I believe is the answer
It's evident that the first four terms are 4, 4/3, 4/9, and 4/27. So the fourth partial sum of the series is
It's as easy as adding up the fractions, but I bet this is supposed to be an exercise in taking advantage of the fact that the series is geometric and use the well-known formula for computing such a sum.
Multiply the sum by 1/3 and you have
Now subtracting this from
gives
That is, all the matching terms will cancel. Now solving for
, you
have
