OpenStudy (anonymous):

downward

hartnn (hartnn):

correct , now find x-intercept, can u ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not sure how

hartnn (hartnn):

put f(x)=0 what u get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no thats not right .

hartnn (hartnn):

0=-(x-3)^2 x-3=0 x=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure

hartnn (hartnn):

x-3=0 add 3 to both sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its c then!

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, but do u know why ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause i looked at my notes and i had it written down already >.> <.< ^_^

hartnn (hartnn):

ok, here u get x-intercept = 3 so, your graph will 1)open downwards 2) will cut x axis at 3 and only graph c) satisfies it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah.. i was gonna say that
