Answer:
(-3, ∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is an upward opening parabola, it will expand as it approaches infinity, so the first and second answers are wrong.
We can tell by the graph that the y value of the vertex is at -3, so that means the answer can't be the fourth one.
Therefore, the answer is (-3, ∞)
The geometric sequence is a sequence in which the proceeding number is equal to the preceeding number multiplied by a ratio. The expression that represents this sequence is an = a1*r^(n-1) where r is the ratio and n is an integer. This type of formula is exponential
let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then proceed.

Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y = -10 -------- (1)
x-y = 2 ------- (2)
from (1)
x+y = -10
y = -10-x -------- (3)
substitute (3) into (2)
x-y = 2
x-(-10-x) = 2
x+10+x = 2
2x = 2-10
2x = -8
x = -8/2
x = -4
