D(n)=-5(1/2)^n-1 what is the 3rd term in the sequence

Write two subtraction equations that are equivalent to 5 + 12 = 17.

The table below shows the height of a ball  x  seconds after being kicked.  what values, rounded to the nearest whole number, complete the quadratic regression equation that models the data? f(x)  =  x2  +  x  +  0based on the regression equation and rounded to the nearest whole number, what is the estimated height after 0.25 seconds?   feet
