Is that equation you put 2x^2 + 5x - 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, then it's c.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C is right. Sorry for blurting the answer. You can check because the y-intercept is -3 (If you give a value of 0 for x).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

An easy way to see if the parabola is upwards or downwards is if the function is negative at the ^2 part. For example: -2x^2 = n-shaped parabola 2x^2 = u-shaped parabola Think of it as negative = sad face positive = happy face :>
