The vertex of the graph of y = -4(x + 3)2 + 2 is ( , )

Step-by-step explanation:

This quadratic is of the form

where h and k are the coordinates of the vertex. Notice that inside the parenthesis it very specifically follows the format (x - h)². That means that if you have something like what we have here, ( x + 3)^2, it was originally (x - (-3))^2, and the value for h is -3. k is much simpler to determine. Our 2 at the end is a +2, so the k is 2. The vertex then is (-3, 2).

7+3=10

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
