Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression ![\frac{\sqrt[5]{b} }{\sqrt[]{b} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7Bb%7D%20%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bb%7D%20%7D)
![\frac{\sqrt[5]{b} }{\sqrt[]{b} } \\= \frac{b^{1/5}}{b^{1/2}} \\= b^{1/5-1/2}\\= b ^{2-5/10}\\= b^{-3/10}\\Compare \ b^n \ with \ b^{-3/10}\\\\n = -3/10](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7Bb%7D%20%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7Bb%7D%20%7D%20%5C%5C%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bb%5E%7B1%2F5%7D%7D%7Bb%5E%7B1%2F2%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%3D%20b%5E%7B1%2F5-1%2F2%7D%5C%5C%3D%20b%20%5E%7B2-5%2F10%7D%5C%5C%3D%20b%5E%7B-3%2F10%7D%5C%5CCompare%20%5C%20b%5En%20%5C%20with%20%5C%20%20b%5E%7B-3%2F10%7D%5C%5C%5C%5Cn%20%3D%20-3%2F10)
Part A:

The first step of completing the square is writing the expression

as

which expands to

.
We have the first two terms exactly the same with the function we start with:

and

but we need to add/subtract from the last term, 49, to obtain 41.
So the second step is to subtract -8 from the expression

The function in completing the square form is

Part B:
The vertex is obtained by equating the expression in the bracket from part A to zero


It means the curve has a turning point at x = -7
This vertex is a minimum since the function will make a U-shape.
A quadratic function

can either make U-shape or ∩-shape depends on the value of the constant

that goes with

. When

is (+), the curve is U-shape. When

(-), the curve is ∩-shape
Part C:
The symmetry line of the curve will pass through the vertex, hence the symmetry line is

This function is shown in the diagram below
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we are given
the sum,common difference and nth term of a geometric sequence
we want to figure out the first term
recall geometric sequence

we are given that
