How are geometric sequences similar to arithmetic sequences? How are they different?

Plzzz plzz maths ! quadratic sequences =an^2+bn 1) 1,6,15,28,45 2)5,18,39,68,105 3) 1,8,21,40,65 4) 7,24,51,88,135 5) -1,2,9,20,35

In the following diagram it is given that dec,ab || dc, ad || eb, and ad is congruent to bc. a)why isn't abc a parallelogram even though it has a pair of parallel sides and a pair of congruent sides b)explain why be must be congruent to bc. further explain what type of triangle this makes triangle abc and what it tells you about angle 1 and angle 2c) finally why must angle 3 be congruent to angle 1? further, explain why we know that angle 3 is congruent to angle 2

How are algebraic expressions evaluated using substitution?
