Answer:


-9216^(52)

Explanation:

From the image, each term doubles the base (that is, the -9, -18, -36, etc.)

and increases 5 in the exponent, starting from the 1st term (-9x^2)

Pattern:

-9^2, -9 times 2 = -18, 2 + 5 = 7, -18x^7

Formula (base number):

an = a1 ×
r^(n-1 )

a11 = -9 ×
2^(11-1)

a11 = -9 ×
2^(10)

a11 = -9 × 1024 = -9216

Formula (exponent number):

an = a1 + (n-1)d

a11 = 2 + (11-1)5

a11 = 2 + (10)5

a11 = 2 + 50 = 52

So, the answer is
-9216^(52)
