Question

Can anyone help out?

Answer 1

Why don't you try plotting it? By plugging in a few values of x and solving it for y and plot it.

Answer 2

its the first choice

Answer 3

think of it in the y=mx+b format. one equation has -3 as the y intercept and the second has nothing as the y intercept making it 0. so which parabole cross at -3 and c? your first choice

Answer 4

parabola *

Answer 5

So the ^2 just basically tells you that it is non-linear?

Answer 6

exactly.

Answer 7

Oh that's so much easier than I was thinking of it, thank you!!

Answer 8

As @hba said, you should plot it. Though, I have already plotted it for you. c;

Based on what I have plotted, it is the first one.

@dl9817 also gives a great explanation of how to find it with out plotting it.

Good luck, have a nice day, and thank you for using OpenStudy. :D

Answer 9

no problem :)

Answer 10

@dl9817 Would this be the first choice?

Answer 11

@dl9817 these are the last two that I'm still getting like caught up on

Answer 12

if i had to guess for that it would be that they intersect at positive x coordinates but im not sure for that one so dont trust my answer

Answer 13

for these "do they intersect" type questions i really dont know for sure aything:/ im sorry

Answer 14

it's alright, thanks for your help(:

Answer 15

no problem, what class is this for? and is it flvs?

Answer 16

its algebra 2 and yeah flvs

Answer 17

did you take geometry on flvs?

Answer 18

no, its actually my first semester doing flvs

Answer 19

ohh okay never mind then. good luck :)
