I tried creating scripts to solve each question but I honestly have no idea what I'm doing, any help will be appreciated!

Have a look on roots to find the solution of quadratic equation.

Question 1 Answer
a= 1;
r= 1/7;
n= 6;
s = a*r.^(0:n-1);
later, you put format long to calculate the exact value.
Question 2 Answer
syms x;
eqn = (4*x^2 -32*x+64) == 0;
solx = solve(eqn,x)
or
a= 4;
b = -32;
c=64;
x(1) = (-b + sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c))/(2*a);
x(2) = (-b - sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c))/(2*a);
okay, i guess my hint is good enough for you to solve question 3.

Please don't answer homework questions like this, posted with no effort made. You do not help the student, only convince them that Answers is here as a homework solving service.

No problem. It is ok if you want to guide someone to a solution. Give them some hints, fine if you can push them to a solution. A lot of time you find that a student was able to get close to a solution if they tried. But they need to do the main thinking.

Agree with what you say. I did't think that much before. "hard work pays off"., they should put some efforts on it if they are willing to learn.
