Exponents are similar in concept to multipication. Multiplication is repeated addition and exponents are repeated multiplication.
So x^3 = x*x*x
f(-2) = (-2)(-2)(-2) = -8
Try the others For yourself!

Answer:
A. t(x) = 450 - 0.06x
Step-by-step explanation:
The layer which is originally 450 m thick is decreasing by 0.06 m.
450 - 0.06
... per day. x represents days.
0.06x
So,
450 - 0.06x
If you look at the sequence, you would observe:
5 - 2 = 3, 8 - 5 = 3, 11 - 8 = 3.
There is a common difference of 3, so the sequence is an Arithmetic Progression.
nth term of an AP = a + (n - 1)d
where a = 1st term = 2, d = common difference = 3
nth term of an AP = a + (n - 1)d
nth term of an AP = 2 + (n - 1)*3 = 2 + 3*n - 3*1 = 2 + 3n - 3
= 2 - 3 + 3n
= -1 + 3n
= 3n - 1
The nth term = 3n - 1, where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,....
I hope this explains it.
