Help

Eiwoh2:

It's post after post with ya, huh? lol jk

AMQ:

on?

zarkam21:

prnt.sc/e71ihz

Eiwoh2:

Well we can obviously rule out C.....why do you think?

AMQ:

AMQ:

^ just for the convenience

moreso:

what's wrong with c) ?

Eiwoh2:

Why can we rule out C, @zarkam21

zarkam21:

Because it is facing up

Eiwoh2:

Yes, btu most importantly it dosent have a postitive leading coefficient..its just a U shape.

zarkam21:

Okay and then D is a choice right?

Eiwoh2:

Yes, but you can chose more than one answer here

moreso:

A U shape always has a positive leading coefficient

zarkam21:

@moreso yeah that's what I thought too :/

Eiwoh2:

well in that case, what answer can we rule out then, moreso?

Eiwoh2:

And he, thank you

moreso:

we can rule out A)

Eiwoh2:

bc it has a negative leading...since it's going to the negative side?

celticcat:

B is the graph of f(x) = x^3 so that one

Eiwoh2:

B is definitely an answer

moreso:

We are not given the explicit function, though we can make an inference based on the graph.

celticcat:

- oh no x^3 + some number

Eiwoh2:

Here, heres a medal for going on the right track, Moreso. I have to go anyways

moreso:

b) could be x^3, x^5, x^7, etc

celticcat:

D is one also

moreso:

plus a constant

celticcat:

arent they all with positive constants except A?

moreso:

they all have positive leading coefficient, except A

celticcat:

yes C is the graph of an even exponential function like x^2
