Formula is y = a(x-h)^2 + k
Where h is 1 and k is 1
f (x) = a(x-1)^2 + 1
-3 = a(0-1)^2 + 1
-3 = a(-1)^2 + 1
-3 = a(1) + 1
-3 - 1 = a
-4 = a
a = -4
A must be equal to -4
y = -4(x-1)^2 + 1
0 = -4(x-1)^2 + 1
4(x^2 - 2x + 1) - 1 = 0
4x^2 - 8x + 4 - 1 = 0
4x^2 - 8x + 3 = 0
4x^2 - 8x = -3
Divide fpr 4 each term of the equation....x^2 - 2x = -3/4
We must factor the perfect square ax^2 + bx + c which we don't have. We must follow the rule (b/2)^2 where b is -2....(-2/2)^2 =
(-1)^2 = 1 and we add up that to both sides
x^2 - 2x + 1 = -3/4 + 1
x^2 - 2x + 1 = 1/4
(x-1)^2 = 1/4
square root both sides x-1 = (+/-) 1/2
x1 = +1/2 + 1 = 3/2
x2 = -1/2 + 1 = 1/2
x-intercepts are 1/2 and 3/2, in form (3/2,0); (1/2,0)
You need to find a number that all three of those numbers go into. They all go into 60. Then, divide 60 by three because there are three items. 60 divided by 3 is 20, which is the answer.
The equation in standard form would be,

All you have to do is move -2/7x to the other side.
Hope this helped

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
A geometric sequence;
-2,10,-50
Required to determine the nth term
The nth term in a geometric sequence is given by the formula;

where
is the first term and r is the common ratio;
In this case;

r = 10 ÷ -2
= -5
Therefore;
To get the nth term in the given geometric sequence we use;

Thus, the nth term is 
12345678910111213
12 and 13 are consecutive numbers
12+13=25
hence, 12 and 13 are your answers
