Geometric sequences go up due to a common ratio. Here the common ratio can be worked out by dividing a term by its previous term e.g term 2 divided by term 1.

Therefore the common ratio is 6.
Answer:
1= 4x^2
2= 5b^4
3= 3u^2v^2w
4= 7
5= bc^3d^6
Note: ^ stands for exponents
Option A.
you can rewrite the equation as x = y^2 / 4 + y - 1
If you conserve the traditional x-axis and y-axis, the parabola opens to the right (the symetry axis is parallel to x and the function grows as y grows).
