in number 7, Is the exponent of (-1) n right? I thought that the exponent of (-1) is n-1 because it changed from n=0 to n=1, and if (-1)^{n}, there will be a change of sign between negative sign and positive sign.

You are correct. It's easy enough to see if we just condense all of those extra factors into An's. Then the first expression gives n=0(1n)An=A0A1+A2A3+...
while the second gives
n=0(1n)An=A0A1+A2A3+...
where I converted An to An1A because you can see that's what happened to all of the other factors in step 7
So that explanation has a mistake in it. If it's on Slader, be sure to leave a comment on that solution letting the person know.
