Answer:
(1.5,2.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2x^2 - 6x + 7
Take the first derivative and set it equal to 0 (the slope is 0 at the vertex)
f'(x) = 4x -6
0 = 4x - 6
4x = 6
x = 3/2 or 1.5
If x = (3/2), then y = 2(3/2)^2 - 6(3/2) + 7
y = 2(9/4) - 18/2 + 7
y = (9/2) - 2
y = 2.5

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Fifth term of a geometric sequence =
Common ratio (r) = ¼
Required:
Formula for the nth term of the geometric sequence
Solution:
Step 1: find the first term of the sequence
Formula for nth term of a geometric sequence = , where:
a = first term
r = common ratio = ¼
Thus, we are given the 5th term to be ¹/16, so n here = 5.
Input all these values into the formula to find a, the first term.
Cross multiply
Divide both sides by 16
Step 2: input the value of a and r to find the nth term formula of the sequence
nth term =
nth term =
