Super hard almost impossible questions!! Someone please help!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a) the leading coefficent is negative ( it is -2) so does it open up or down?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you need to think about the intercept as well. I think and what @satellite73 said is how you come to an answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im confused though :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it opens down?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that eliminates 2 and 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you get for \(-2x^2+3\) if \(x=0\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know @satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So in terms of this problem It is quite simple actually If you look at all of the possible choices you see differences in which direction they open and where the little swoop "U" begins. kind of These are called transformations and you are going to need to remember them all a negative out in front causes it to open down, a positive causes it to open up a 3 says the swoop" middle part is at 3 A link of these rules is found here http://www.mathsisfun.com/sets/function-transformations.html
