Answer:
the correct answer is j=12+7
common difference, d = -3
f1 = -13
An arithmetic sequence f(n) = f1 + d(n - 1)
so f(n) = -13 - 3(n - 1)
f(46) = -13 - 3(46-1) = -13 -3(45) = -13 - 135 = -148
Answer:
f(46) = - 148
16. 5x^3 y^-5 • 4xy^3
20x^4y^-2
20x^4 • 1/y^2
=20x^4/y^2
17. -2b^3c • 4b^2c^2
= -8b^5c^3
18. a^3n^7 / an^4 (a^3 minus a = a^2 same as n^7 minus n^4 = n^3)
=a^2n^3
19. -yz^5 / y^2z^3
= -z^2/y
20. -7x^5y^5z^4 / 21x^7y^5z^2 (divide -7 to 21 and minus xyz)
= -z / 3x^2
21. 9a^7b^5x^5 / 18a^5b^9c^3
=a^2c^2 / 2b^4
22. (n^5)^4
n ^5 x 4
=n^20
23. (z^3)^6
z ^3 x 6
=z^18
