To multiply exponents with like bases, simply add the exponents...
3^-3 × 3^4 × 3 × 3^-5 =
add exponents across, remember just 3 means 3^1.
-3 + 4 + 1 + -5 = -3
answer is 3^-3
Answer: a = 300, b = b = 50.24
Step-by-step explanation:
So the question is the original price was $791 and they bought it at the marked down price at $474.60? then they saved $316.40 but i’m not really sure if that’s the question lol
<span> To get an explicit formula, we need to find an expression which gives the n-th term without having to compute earlier terms in the sequence. Looking at the numbers, and from the recursive formula, we see that the sequence is built by subtracting n from the previous term. This is similar to the triangular number sequence 1,3,6,10,15,... which has the explicit formula a_n = n(n+1)/2. In our case we are subtracting n from the previous term, so we multiply by -1/2 instead of 1/2. However, we also need to add a constant term to reproduce the numbers of the sequence. We can write a_1 = -1(2)/2 + c = 8. Therefore, c = 9.
So the explict formula is:
a_n = -n(n+1)/2 + 9</span>
