First find the formula which is A(N)=A+(N-1)D then fill in what you know
N=term your looking for
A=first term
D= common diffrence
Once filled in you will get this 18(18)=18+(18-1)-6
then solve to get 324= -84
Your final answer is that the 18th term is -84
Hope I could help
Find the vertex:

Determine if the parabola will open up or down:

Since the value of a is positive, the parabola will open upwards
Find the x and y intercepts:
Factor
to find the x intercepts
(x+8)(x+2)
x + 8 = 0
x = -8
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
x intercepts:
x = -2
x = -8
Find the y intercept

Hence, C. Graph A best represents the quadratic function 
If the line does not have a y int, then it means it does not cross the y axis....that means it is a vertical line.....its x int is (3,0)...so this equation for the line is x = 3
if the line does not have an x int, it means it does not cross the x axis...that means it is a horizontal line...its y int is (0,-4)...so the equation for this line is
y = -4
Answer:
I think the question is not correct because it can't be factorize
