In this exercise we have to use subtraction knowledge to calculate the final value of the equation, like this:
Letter C
<h2>What is subtraction?</h2>
It is a mathematical operation in which it is possible to find a quantity by decreasing one number by another, it is opposed to addition, being represented by the minus sign.
So make the calculus we have:

For this case we must simplify the following expression:

So, if we apply distributive property to the terms within parentheses we have:

We simplify taking into account that:
- Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.
- Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.

Answer:

Use the power rule (which says to multiply the exponents)
1) n⁴ˣ⁸ = n³²
2) x³ˣ⁻⁵ = x⁻¹⁵ = 
3) c³ˣ⁵ * d³ˣ⁰ = c¹⁵ * d⁰ = c¹⁵ * 1 = c¹⁵
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
