The answer will be “b” because exponent means mutiply
Answer:
-84
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the nth term of a geometric progression is
Un = ar^n- 1
The sum of the first six terms of a geometric series (U6) = 21/16
Common ratio = -1/2 ,
a = First term ??
21/16 = a × (-1/2 )^6- 1
21/16 = a ×(-2^-1)^5
21/16 = a × -2^-6
Cross Multiply
16 × a × -2^-6 = 21
a = 21/16 × -2^-6
a = 21/16 ×- 1/2⁶
a = 21/16 × -1/64
a = 21 ÷(-1/4)
a = 21 × -4
a = -84
The first term = 84
The method of multiplication shown is (a) Ancient Egyptian Method
<h3>Multiplication</h3>
This involves taking the product of at least two factors which could be numbers, expressions or both
From the method shown, we can see that a factor is multiplied by multiples of 2 (i.e. doubling), till it reaches a maximum
This method is associated with the Egyptian.
Hence, the method of multiplication is (a) Ancient Egyptian Method

1cm means 1 centimeter
centi=1000 so
1cm=1/1000m
1m=1000cm
so 27cm+1m+80cm=27cm+1000cm+80cm=1107cm=1.107m
