  a) 3, 8, 63, 3968

  b) some other kind

  c) continue to evaluate terms sequentially

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To find the first four terms, use the recurrence relation:

  t(1) = 3 . . . given

  t(2) = t(1)^2 - 1 = 3^2 -1 = 9 -1 = 8

  t(3) = 8^2 -1 = 64 -1 = 63

  t(4) = 63^2 -1 = 3969 -1 = 3968

The first 4 terms are 3, 8, 63, 3968.

b) The terms have no common difference or ratio, so the sequence is some other kind of sequence. The ratios of terms form a sequence that is approximately exponential.

c) Colin can find the 10th term by evaluating successive terms using the recursion relation. (It is approximately 2.0351×10^230.)

step-by-step explanation:

the orientation of the parabolas can easily be found by analysing the power of x and y and their signs. if x is squared , parabola opens up and also if its coefficient is negative it opens down. if y is squared , the parabola opens right and also if its coefficient is negative it opens left. however in order to do the above analysis our equation must be in standard form .

our parabola is

which is not standard form of any parabola . hence we square on both hand side and convert it into standard form.

hence we see that x is squared and its coefficient is non negative . there for it opens up.
