You are expected to know (-x)*(-x) = x^2 = (x)*(x) for any value of x.
With this in mind, you expect to be looking for squares in answer to your question. You will find them.
1) y² = 49 . . . . . . . 4th selection
2) y² = 16 . . . . . . . 3rd selection

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the ratio test is stated as follows:
Given a series of the form 
If L<1, then the series converge absolutely, if L>1, then the series diverge. If L fails to exist or L=1, then the test is inconclusive.
Consider the given series
. In this case,
, so , consider the limit

Since the numerator has a greater exponent than the numerator, the limit is infinity, which is greater than one, hence, the series diverge by the ratio test
Quadratic function ( in standard form ):
y = a x² + b x + c
x = 0:
635 = 0 + 0 + c
c = 635
x = 1:
644 = a + b + 635
a + b = 9
x = 2:
719 = 4 a + 2 b + 635
4 a + 2 b = 84
and now we have a system:
a + b = 9 / * ( - 2 )
4 a + 2 b = 84
-------------------------
- 2 a + 2 b = - 18
+
4 a + 2 b = 84
-------------------------
2 a = 66
a = 33; b = - 24;
Function is:
f ( x ) = 33 x² - 24 x + 635
f ( 8 ) = 33 * 64 - 24 * 8 + 635 = 2,112 - 192 + 635 = 2,555
Answer: The number of waterfowl on week 8 would be 2,555.
