We know that
if the y terms is squared so it opens left or right
Is a Horizontal Parabola, the equation is of the form
(y-k)²=4(p)(x-h)
vertex is (h,k)
and
p is distance from focus to vertex, also distance from vertex to directrix
if p>0, then it opens to the right and directrix is to the left of vertex
if p<0, then it opens to the left and directrix is to the right of vertex
so
(y-1)²=4(4)(x-(-3))
vertex is (-3,1)
4>0 so directrix is to left of vertex
left is in x direction
-3-4=-7
directrix is x=-7
the answer is
x=-7

Answer:
One convergence criteria that is useful here is that, if aₙ is the n-th term of this sequence, then we must have:
Iaₙ₊₁I < IaₙI
This means that the absolute value of the terms must decrease as n increases.
Then we must have:
We can write this as:
If we assume that n is a really big number, then:
n + 1 ≈ 1
And we can write:
Then we have the inequality
And remember that this must be in absolute value, then we will have that:
-1 < (x - 2)/3 < 1
-3 < x - 2 < 3
-3 + 2 < x < 3 + 2
-1 < x < 5
The first option looks like this, but it uses the symbols ≤≥, so it is not the same as this, then the correct option will be the second.
