2. Expresa como potencia: a) \( (-5) \cdot(-5) \cdot(-5) \cdot(-5) \cdot(-5)= \) b) \( -5 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 \cdot 5= \) c) \( (-3) \cdot(-3) \cdot(-3)= \)

8. \( -5 \frac{1}{3}-\left(-6 \frac{2}{3}\right) \)

\( \frac{4}{1\times 2}+\frac{4}{2\times 3}+\frac{4}{3\times 4}+...+\frac{4}{23\times 24} \)

5 State which consecutive whole numbers are either side of: \( \begin{array}{lll}\text { a } \sqrt{29} & \text { b } \sqrt{40} & \text { c } \\ \text { 7II }\end{array} \)

Consider the number pattern below: \[ \frac{-3}{5} ; \frac{-6}{9} ; \frac{-9}{13} ; \ldots . \ldots \] Determine the next two terms of the number pattern. Determine the \( n^{\text {th }} \) term of the number pattern.

\( \frac{2}{5\times 8}+\frac{2}{8\times 11}+\frac{2}{11\times 14}+...+\frac{2}{29\times 32} \)
