Answer:
You didn't give the geometric sequence in question.
But to find the nth term of a geometric sequence, use the formula
Sn = ar^(n - 1)
Where a is the first term of the sequence
r is the common ratio of the sequence.
Example: To find the nth term of the geometric sequence
1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, ...
Here, a = 1/2
r = 1/4 ÷ 1/2 = 1/8 ÷ 1/4 = 1/16 ÷ 1/8 = 1/2.
Sn = (1/2)(1/2)^( n - 1)
Apply this method to the sequence you were given, it will be helpful.
You add the 4 to both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = (x - h)² + k (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex
Given y = x² + 7x - 5
To express in vertex form use the method of completing the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )²
y = x² + 2(
)x +
-
- 5
y = (x +
)² -
- 
y = (x +
)² - 
Hence
a =
and b = -
