#

first question, 1 = i^0, so it is a arithmetic series summation

#

2nd question, in this case, we need to consider the open axis of the function, the value of y when x is equal to 0, and axis of symmetry.

#

Which variable is related to considering the opening direction of the function?

#

what is the formula for the axis of symmetry?

#

What is the summation formula for a series of equal ratios?

#

tysm for the first question, I ended up answering the 2nd question and i think it came out to be c or d but thanks again for ur time004hellokitty

You are close

#

there are only two possibilities for an opening in a quadratic function: up or down, this is directly related to the coefficient a of the quadratic term, consider their relationship .

#

for the first one, there one good thing you can remember

#

i^4n=1
i^4n+1=i
i^4n+2=-1
i^4n+3=-i

#

where n is any integer

#

it wont help much in this questing but it can be usefule for others

#

2nd is option (d)

#

since its an upward parabola, a>0, and the graph intersects y axis in the possitive y axis, so c>0

#

if you want to know about b

#

since -b/2a is positive, and a is positive, b<0

#

if you want the solution for first one lmk
