Answer:
y = x^2 +10x -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Quadratic regression generally requires the use of "technology" to aid in finding the equation of the curve of best fit. Use the technology you've been introduced to.

When only a few data points are provided, I prefer to use the Desmos graphing calculator. It shows the equation to be ...
y = x^2 +10x -9
The correct answer is C) t₁ = 375, 
.
From the general form,
, we must work backward to find t₁.
The general form is derived from the explicit form, which is
. We can see that r = 5; 5 has the exponent, so that is what is multiplied by every time. This gives us
Using the products of exponents, we can "split up" the exponent:
We know that 5⁻¹ = 1/5, so this gives us
Comparing this to our general form, we see that
Multiplying by 5 on both sides, we get that
t₁ = 75*5 = 375
The recursive formula for a geometric sequence is given by
, while we must state what t₁ is; this gives us
