first the square root of 4 is 2 so we can sub that in.
now we have 2(2*2)^-2.
2 * 2 of course is 4
with 2(4)^-2, keep in mind that negative exponents just mean to "flip" the number and turn the exponents positive.
so 4^-2 is the same as 1/4^2 or 1/16.
finally 1/16 * 2 = 2/16. 2/16 simplified is 1/8.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
if the number is x then you know 2x-9=5
2x=14
x=7
so the number is 7
So for eliminating, you only solve for one variable first.
I solved for y, so I multiplied by -4 to eliminate the x.
Then I got y= -1
I then substituted that to one of the equations to get x.

Step-by-step explanation:
Nth term of a geometric sequence is given as:
...(1)
Plugging n = 9, a = 3 and r = 2 in the above equation, we find:

... (2)
Comparing equations (1) & (2), we obtan:
(n - 1) = 8
