8+(-10) is like 10-8 except backwards so how i do some problems is like that and then add a negative sign; so say if i were doing 8+(-10), i would do 10-8 which equals 2 and then since 10 is bigger than 8 and it’s a negative number, i would put -2 as my answer
Well, you need to see which is equal to 6*8
6*8 = 48
14*1 = 14
6*4*8 = 192
(4+2)*(7+1) = 48

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
Trinomial 2x² + 4x + 4.
It's of the form ax²+bx+c and it's discriminant is Δ=b² - 4.a.c
(in our case Δ = 4² - (4)(2)(4) → Δ = - 32
We know that: x' = -1 + i and x" = -1 - i
If Δ > 0 we have 2 rational solutions x' and x"
If Δ = 0 we have1 rational solution x' = x"
If Δ < 0 we have 2 complex solutions x' and x", that are conjugate
In our example we have Δ = - 16 then <0 so we have 2 complex solutions
That are x'= [-b+√Δ]/2.a and x" = [-b-√Δ]/2.a
x' =
