Answer:

The sequence <u>is</u> geometric and the common ratio is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is geometric if each term (after the first one) is equal to the term before it times some constant number, called the 'common ratio'.

Examples: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ... has a common ratio of 2 because 2*2 = 4, and 4*2 = 8, and so on.

Also, --> 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4/ 1/8, ... has a common ratio of 1/2 because

4 * 1/2 = the next term 2, and 2 * 1/2 = the next trem 1/4, and son on.

In this case, 3 * 2 = 6

6 * 2 = 12

12 * 2 = 24

The sequence <u>is</u> geometric and the common ratio is 2

What is the equation of the graph below?

IgorC [24]

ANSWER

$f(x) = (x + 3)^{2} - 1$

EXPLANATION

The vertex of the graph is at

$(-3,-1)$

The equation of the graph in vertex form is given by the formula,

$f(x) = a{(x - h)}^{2} + k$

The above graph has a minimum point, hence
$a > \: 0$

When we put these values into the equation we obtain,

$f(x) = a(x - - 3)^{2} + - 1$

This implies that,

$f(x) = a(x + 3)^{2} - 1$

The point (-2,0) lies on the line.

$a( - 2 + 3)^{2} - 1 = 0$

$a = 1$

$f(x) = (x + 3)^{2} - 1$

The correct answer is D.
