First term = a = 2
Problem
Find the nth term
tn = (-1 )^(n -1) * (a)^n answer or
tn = (-1)^(n - 1) * 2^n
where a is defined as the first term (it usually is given that designation).
Try a few to make sure the formula is correct
<em>n = 1</em>
t1 = (-1)^(1 - 1) * 2^1
t1 = (-1)^0 * 2
t1 = 1 * 2 = 2
<em>n =2</em>
t2 = (-1)^(2 - 1) * 2^2 = (-1)^1 * 4 = -4

Answer: n - 10 which is choice C</h3>
Let's use an example. If Nathaniel earned $15 on Tuesday, and earned $10 less on Wednesday, then 15-10 = 5 dollars is the amount he earns on Wednesday.
Now let's say he earned $27 on Tuesday, and still earned $10 less the next day, meaning that he earns 27-10 = 17
Whatever he earns on Tuesday, subtract off 10. That's the rule to follow for this problem.
(amount earned on Tuesday) - 10 = amount earned on Wednesday
If n reprsesent the placeholder for "amount earned on Tuesday", then we can rewrite that equation as
amount earned on Wednesday = n - 10
In short, whatever 'n' is, subtract 10 off it. In the examples above, I used n = 15 and n = 27.
note: the order of subtraction matters. The expression n-10 is not the same as 10 - n. If you subtract in the wrong order you may get a negative value (eg: 10 - 17 = -7), but he can't earn a negative amount of dollars.
