Triangular prism and rectangular prism
To find the X intercept make y =0. Then factor out a negative on the side with the equation for each of the terms, so it becomes
0=-(x^2+x+3)
0=(x^2+X+3)
0-3=(x^2+X)
-3=x(X+1)
-3=X, X intercept -3,0
-3=(X+1)
-4=X, X intercept -4,0.
These are possible X intercepts you can check by using quadratic formula as well.
The sequence seems to be that you add 1 and then multiply by 2, and then add 1 and multiply by 3, so I would assume you do 9 + 1 = 10, and then multiply by 4 to get 40 as your next number. I hope this helps!
