SOLUTION
From the sequence give
–3, 1, 5, 9, . . .
The first term, a = -3
The common difference, d = 4 (gotten by adding 4 to the next term).
The number of terms required n = 6.
Formula for sum of an arithmetic sequence is given by
Substituting these values into the equation above we have
Hence, the answer is 42, option B
Answer:
(2xy)³
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Power Rule of Exponents:
We can apply the Power Rule of Exponents to the given exponential expression, 8x³y³, by taking the smallest factor that when cubed (or raised to an exponent of 3), will produce the same results as the original exponential expression.
8 is a perfect cube of 2: ⇒ 2 × 2 × 2 = 2³ = 8
The cube of x is x³: ⇒ x × x × x = x³
The cube of y is y³ ⇒ y × y × y = y³
Hence, we can take the least common factors, (2xy) and raise them to the third power:
(2xy)³ = 2³x³y³ = 8x³y³
Therefore, the correct answer is: (2xy)³
