Raise -2 to the double of b and divide the result by the quadruple of a. A=-4 and B =+3.

- 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A = - 4, B = 3

According to the instruction :

Raise -2 to the double of b and divide the result by the quadruple of a. A=-4 and B =+3

Raise - 2 to the double of b ;

Result = (-2)^(2*3) = (-2)^6 = 64

Divide result by quadruple of a

a = - 4 ;

Quadruple of 'a' means 4 times as many as 'a' = '4 * a' quadruple of a = (-4) * 4 = - 16

= (-2)^6 / -16

64 / - 16

64 / - 16 = - 4

y= -

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
