We have been given the sequence 2,3,5,9,17.

We can write the terms of this sequence as

2=2^0+1\\
3=2^1+1\\
5=2^2+1\\
9=2^3+1\\
17=2^4+1\\

From the above term we can see that for the first term we take exponent 0 on 2 and then add 1 .

For second term we take exponent 1 on 2 and then add 1 .

For third term we take exponent 2 on 2 and then add 1 .

Using this fact for the next term of the sequence i.e. 6th term, we can take exponent 5 on 2 and then add 1 .

Therefore, next term of the sequence is given by

2^5+1\\
=32+1\\
=33

Therefore, the next term is 33.

Using the above facts, the pattern is given by

a_n=2^{n-1}+1

How can this product be simplified 8p(-2p^2+6p-2)
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

-16p³ + 48p² - 16p

Explanation:

In order to simplify the given expression, we need to multiplied 8p with (-2p²+6p-2)

8p*(-2p²+6p-2)

we need to distribute 8p over the brackets or parenthesis.

=8p*(-2p²) + 8p*(6p) + 8p*(-2)

= 8*(-2)*p*p² + 8*6p*p + 8*(-2)* p

= -16p³ + 48p² - 16p

We can't simplify it more, so that's the final answer.

I hope it's help.
