Using BEDMAS you follow the structure of what processes you need to do in the right mathematical order.
In this case, Brackets first, multiplication second, then adding.
Therefore answer he answer is C 184
Answer:
∑ (-1)ⁿ⁺³ 1 / (n^½)
∑ (-1)³ⁿ 1 / (8 + n)
Step-by-step explanation:
If ∑ an is convergent and ∑│an│is divergent, then the series is conditionally convergent.
Option A: (-1)²ⁿ is always +1. So an =│an│and both series converge (absolutely convergent).
Option B: bn = 1 / (n^⁹/₈) is a p series with p > 1, so both an and │an│converge (absolutely convergent).
Option C: an = 1 / n³ isn't an alternating series. So an =│an│and both series converge (p series with p > 1). This is absolutely convergent.
Option D: bn = 1 / (n^½) is a p series with p = ½, so this is a diverging series. Since lim(n→∞) bn = 0, and bn is decreasing, then an converges. So this is conditionally convergent.
Option E: (-1)³ⁿ = (-1)²ⁿ (-1)ⁿ = (-1)ⁿ, so this is an alternating series. bn = 1 / (8 + n), which diverges. Since lim(n→∞) bn = 0, and bn is decreasing, then an converges. So this is conditionally convergent.

He has 30 and gets rid of 4 so 26 cookies then gets rid of 8 more, so then 18 cookies left.
