It would be negative 5 since it is going down.
I think the answer is -7/4.
X cannot equal +2, and can't be -1. If you factor it, then you notice you get 2(x+2)(x-2). If you use either one for the x, one will be zero and the won't, and vise-versa.
The formula for the sum of n terms in an arithmetic progression is:
S = n/2 * (2a + (n-1)d)
Here, the common difference, d, is 8 and the first term, a, is 1. Substituting these into the formula, we get:
S = n/2 * (2*1 + 8(n - 1))
S = n + 4n² - 4n
S = 4n² - 3n
The answer is A.
