Answer:

1109

Step-by-step explanation:

an = d (n - 1) + c

an = what you're looking for

n = term position

d = the common difference, in your case, 16

c = first term of the sequence, or -27

a₇₂ = 16(72 - 1) + -27 = 1109

Answer:

$x=-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(\frac{2^{7}}{2^{9}})^{3} \\(\frac{128}{512})^{3} \\(\frac{1}{4})^{3}\\(\frac{1}{4})*(\frac{1}{4})*(\frac{1}{4})\\\frac{1*1*1}{4*4*4} \\\frac{1^{3} }{4^{3} } \\\frac{1}{64} \\2^{x}=\frac{1}{64}\\log 2^x=log\frac{1}{64}\\x*(log(2))=log\frac{1}{64}\\x=\frac{log\frac{1}{64}}{log(2)} \\x=-6$
