Answer:
Although the notation is sloppy, I will assume based on former questions of the same that "∑n=15[5(−2)^n−1]" translates mathematically to . Please correct me, though, if this in incorrect.
Anyway, there is neat formula that will deal with question very quickly. It is the following:
Sn is the sum of the geometric series
a1 is the first term in the series
r is the common ratio
n is the number of terms in the finite geometric series
Let's use this formula to our advantage! However, there are two variables that we do not know: a1 and n. Let's start with a1.The first term in the series is when n=1, so let's determine what that is.

Answer:
yes it is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The roots: this is when y=0, so in yours there are 2 roots. Just look at the x value when y=0 and that is your roots.
Y intercept- this is when x=0, so just look at the y value below x=0 and that is the y intercept. Note the answer will probably be in the form (0,_)
Vertex=do you see a pattern? Well the vertest would be the highest or lowest point of the quadratic equation. Your vertex would be (5,-9) because just look at x=4 and x=6, bit of the y values are -8 and when you look at x=3 and x=7 they are also the same because this is a quadratic equation.
Max or min: yours is a minimum because (5,-9) is the lowest point. Every value left and right of this are higher up the graph, so this would be a minimum.
*something that will help you see this all more clearly is if you graphed this or put it into Desmos to see the vertex etc.
