A parabola is a curved shape in a graph that has either a maximum or a minimum (which is the fixed point) and any point is equidistant from that fixed point. You can tell it is a parabola because most likely in an equation the x with be squared.
An arithmetic sequence is an ordered list of numbers where the next number is found by adding on to the last number (ex: 2,5,8,11... is a sequence where 3 is added on to find the next number).
The equation for an arithmetic sequence is


is the "n-th" number in the sequence (ex: is the first term in the sequence)
d is the number you add (common difference) to find the next number
The first number in the sequence is 47 so

<span>d=-2 because the question gives you that
