a. 14, 18, 22, 26.... It is +4
b. 2,430, 7,290, 21,870..... It is x3
c. So it is going -2, -4, -6, -8 so the next one would be -10 which is -13 then -12 which is -25 and so on.
Hope this helps!
Examples :
(-2)^3 = (-2)(-2)(-2) = - 8
(-3)^4 = (-3)(-3)(-3)(-3) = 81
(-1)^5 = (-1)(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1) = -1
** if the exponent is an even number, the answer will be positive. if the exponent is an odd number, then the answer will be negative
** but keep in mind....if the negative is not included with the base..
-(5^2) = - 25....but (-5^2) = 25
9 times 52 = 468 hope that helped!!
For this case we have the following expression:

We must find the value of the expression when:

Substituting we have:

Finally, the value of the expression is:
