Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a horizontal parabola in the standard form:

(h, k) - vertex
if a > 0, then open right
if a < 0, then open left
We have the vertrex (-1, -3) and the parabola is open left (a < 0).
Therefore the equation of a given parabola could be:

Answer:
(-1)ⁿ(3)ⁿ/10
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term a = 0.3, the second term, ar = 0.9. The common ratio r = ar/a = 0.9/-0.3 = -3.
From the general term of a geometric series,
U = arⁿ⁻¹
= (0.3)(-3)ⁿ⁻¹
= (3/10)(-3)ⁿ⁻¹
= (-1)ⁿ⁻¹(3)(3)ⁿ⁻¹/10
= (-1)ⁿ(3)ⁿ/10
The answer is C. 7.1 feet.
I hope this helps.
