In this problem
The geometric sequence formula is equal to

For 
therefore
the answer is
the common ratio for the geometric sequence above is 
Assuming the exponent is supposed to be "^2" your equation will read:
4x² + 8x - 5
It must set equal to y to be a valid function and the y must be set equal to zero to find x-intercepts.
4x² + 8x - 5 = 0
4x² - 2x + 10x - 5 = 0
2x(2x - 1) + 5(2x - 1) = 0
(2x + 5)(2x - 1) = 0
Set each binomial equal to zero.
2x + 5 = 0
2x = 0 - 5
2x = - 5
Divide both sides by 2
x = - 5/2
2x - 1 = 0
2x = 0 + 1
2x = 1
x = 1/2
Your x-intercepts are x = - 5/2, 1/2 or (- 5/2, 0) and (1/2, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:
Productivity: My candy bar company made 100 million bars last year, sold for $1 each. I also paid [L] people last year, with an average salary of $100K last year. I have overhead cost of $10M. What was my TOTAL productivity (no units, rounded to 2 decimal places)?
Solution:
Total productivity is the average of labour and capital productivity weighted and adjusted to price fluctuations. It is the ratio of total output to the total input. The total productivity is given by the formula:
Total productivity = total output / total input
Total output = Revenue = number of bars sold * price per bar
Total output = 100 million * $1 = $100 million
Total input = Total salary + overhead cost
Total salary = number of people * average salary = 100 *$100000 = $10 million
overhead cost = $10 million
Total input = $10 million + $10 million = $20 million
Total productivity = total output / total input = $100 million / $20 million
Total productivity = 5
