Answer:
= 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an arithmetic progression is
= a + (n - 1)d
where a is the first term and d the common difference
use the 9 th term and 7 th term to find a and d
= a + 8d = 
→ (1)
= a + 6d = 
→ (2)
Subtract (2) from (1) term by term
2d = 
⇒ d = 
Substitute this value into (2) and solve for a
a + 
=
a = - =
Hence
= + 
= 1
It’s a every minute he scores one more point
That's a quadratic, a nice parabola in vertex form.
The parabola has a positive x^2 term, so it's a CUP, concave up positive. It will have a minimum at the vertex, which is (2,5). Plot that point.
Now we need a couple of guide points to draw the usual parabola going up from both sides of its vertex. We try x=0 giving (0,9) and see that x=4 also gives 9, (4,9). Plot the parabola through those two points and the vertex and you're done.
2(x+1)(x- 6) this is probably correct
A parallel line must have the same slope. The only one it can be is A
