Answer:
6x-12=-48
6x=-36
x=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
If the parabola has y = -4 at both x = 2 and x = 3, then since a parabola is symmetric, its axis of symmetry must be between x = 2 and x = 3, or at x = 5/2. Our general equation can then be:
y = a(x - 5/2)^2 + k
Substitute (1, -2): -2 = a(-3/2)^2 + k
-2 = 9a/4 + k
Substitute (2, -4): -4 = a(-1/2)^2 + k
-4 = a/4 + k
Subtracting: 2 = 2a, so a = 1. Substituting back gives k = -17/4.
So the equation is y = (x - 5/2)^2 - 17/4
Expanding: y = x^2 - 5x + 25/4 - 17/4
y = x^2 - 5x + 2 (This is the standard form.)
Answer:
The n th of the given sequence is 
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1</u> :-
Given sequence is 20,14,8,2,.......this sequence in arithmetic progression but this sequence is decreasing sequence.
given first term is 20 and difference is
now the nth term of given sequence is
by using formula 


final answer:-

<u>verification</u>:-

put n=1 we get first term is 20
put n=2 we get second term is 14
put n=3 we get third term is 8
put n=4 we get fourth term is 2
so the n th term of sequence is
