Well first...x = 0 is just a vertical line at x = 0 correct? So this means at that line (which happens to be the y-axis) there is a graph where the left side looks like a mirror image of the right side

johnweldon1993 · Answer

So where would that happen?

Each of your choices have x^2   (which is a parabola)

But which of your choices has that parabola with the vertex somewhere on the y-axis?

anonymous · Answer

its A because x2 and 2x are identical terms

johnweldon1993 · Answer

That is incorrect

$$\large x^2 \cancel{=} 2x$$

And graphically that equation would look like

|dw:1396875768757:dw|

anonymous · Answer

well in that case it would be C

anonymous · Answer

it would be c rigt? it intercepts at (0,2)

johnweldon1993 · Answer

If the line x = 0 is

|dw:1396875817603:dw|
