<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Given the sequence {-8, 16, -32, 64, ... , a₇} we know the following
- the first term (a₁) = -8
- the common ratio (r) = -2
- the number of terms (n) = 7
Input the information above into the Sum formula:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
a = 3, b = 12, c = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
The applicable rules of exponents are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)

<em>Additional comment</em>
I find it easy to remember the rules of exponents by remembering that <em>an exponent signifies repeated multiplication</em>. It tells you how many times the base is a factor in the product.
Multiplication increases the number of times the base is a factor.
Similarly, division cancels factors from numerator and denominator, so decreases the number of times the base is a factor.
