a geometric sequence is a bunch of numbers where you can get from a number to the next number by multiplying the previous number by a certain number
might be confusing so here's an example
1,2,4,8,16
each term is multiplied by 2 to get next term, that number that each term is multiplied by is called the common ratio
formula for geometric sequence is

where
is nth term
is first term
r is teh common ratio
n=which term
in our example
1,3, 9, 27, 81
each term is being multiplied by 3 so it is a geometric sequence and thus r=3
also first term is 1 so 
so the formula is
or in function notation

Answer:
f(x)= (x+8)^2 + 200
Step-by-step explanation:
-b/2a gives you the x coordinate of the vertex and then plug it in for x to get the y coordinate. Put it in the formula (f()x= (x-h)^2 +k).
H is the x coordinate and K is the y coordinate
The first one. X is greater than or equal to -1
This is child's play.
So, basically:
Y=Length of foot
X= Length of your forearm.
This is simple. Your equation is Y=0.860x + 3.302
So, if you have a forearm (x) that is 17 inches long, then plug in x as 17. This leaves you to evaluate for Y.
New equation: Y=0.860(17) +3.302
Work it out, you get: Y=14.62 + 3.302
Work that out, you get: Y= 17.922 inches long.
And of course, Y is the foot.
So, your answer: If the forearm is 17 inches long, then the foot is 17.922 inches long. Simple.
So, part 2:
Rate of change. Well, you need slope then, because that's the same thing.
Y=mx+b, Where m=slope
Your answer turns to be 0.860 inches per length of arm, for rate of change.
Skipping the data, as that's only something you'd know.
Yes, it is indeed a function. There can't be any exponents greater than 1 on the placeholder, and it's obviously not a straight line if you plug it in.
So yeah, it's a function.
