Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute -52 for p and solve using PEMDAS

-15(53 + -52)

I don’t know if ur asking for 52 or 53 but I will do both just in case if it’s the other

If it’s -15(52+p)
first you would have rearrange terms
which would be -15(p+52) then just distribute and you would get -15p-780

but if it’s -15(53+p)
you would do the same thing as the first solution which is rearrange terms and get -15(p+53) and distribute and your answer would be -15p-795

I hope this helps you.

Which of the following is the general term for the sequence? -a, a^2, -a^3, a^4,...

Elis [28]

Answer:

The answer would be $-a(-a)^{n-1}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simply substitute the terms into this equation. Checking the 1st term, $-a(-a)^{1-1} = -a(-a)^{0} = -a(1) = -a$ . Moving on to the second term, we see $-a(-a)^{2-1} = -a(-a)^{1} = -a(-a) = a^{2}$ . And so on and so forth. We can see how the answer fluctuates between negative and positive, while gaining one more exponent every term, which fits with the sequence given. Therefore, the answer would be $-a(-a)^{n-1}$ .
