1. C

   Step-by-step explanation:

   The first term is when n=1, the fourth term is when n=4 and the eighth term is when n=8 for equation:

   [tex]a_n=-2\cdot2^{n-1}[/tex]

   n=1 substitute into the equation:

   [tex]a_1=-2\cdot2^{1-1}=-2\cdot2^{0}=-2\cdot1=-2[/tex]

   n=4 substitute into the equation:

   [tex]a_1=-2\cdot2^{4-1}=-2\cdot2^{3}=-2\cdot8=-16[/tex]

   n=8 substitute into the equation:

   [tex]a_1=-2\cdot2^{8-1}=-2\cdot2^{7}=-2\cdot128=-256[/tex]

   The answer is C

3. 1.) 8a⁴b³ + 6a²b³ab² - 2a²b³ab

   2.) A. 44

   3.) B. +83 degrees

   4.) D. $0.15

   5.) x⁴ - 256

   6.) D. -122

   7.) -6r²s⁴t³

   Step-by-step explanation:

   1.) To simplify, we simply multiply/distribute and then combine like terms.

   2.) To simplify, we use Order of Operations BPEMDAS to solve.

   3.) To find, we simply subtract 68 and -15 to get +83 as our answer.

   4.) To find, we simply multiply 3 by 24 to get 72, then divide by $410.80 to get $0.15 as our answer.

   5.) To expand/simplify, simply use Difference of Squares to get C. as our answer.

   6.) To find the value, simply plug in 7 for b to get -122 as our answer.

   7.) To find the result, remember that when you divide exponents, you subtract the powers.
