Question

(6)(2)^n-1 or 12^n-1 ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The expression (6)(2)^(n-1) means to multiply 6 by 2 raised to the power of n-1. For example, when n = 3, we have:

(6)(2)^(n-1) = (6)(2)^(3-1)

= (6)(2)^2

= (6)(4)

= 24

On the other hand, the expression 12^(n-1) means to raise 12 to the power of n-1. For example, when n = 3, we have:

12^(n-1) = 12^(3-1)

= 12^2

= 144
