The graph of which equation is shown below?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = −x^2 + 2x − 3 y = −x^2 − 2x − 3 y = x^2 + 2x − 3 y = x^2 − 2x − 3

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

hint:the zeros of these functions are 1 and -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be the second one?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

if plugging in x = -3 and 1 give 0 then yes

OpenStudy (ranga):

The parabola opens upwards. So the coefficient of x^2 has to be positive. Quickly you can rule out two choices.

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can rule out A and B

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

yes - now try the substitutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does this go with the formula y=mx+b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no it doesnt that finding slope intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok the answer is x^2 +2x -3

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

f(1) for 3rd option is (1)^2 + 2(1) - 3 = 0 f(-3) = ?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

correct
