Sec, I got you

Hanna:

By sec you mean one moment or the second one?

Shadow:

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/jzyaxvtjsv One moment. As you can see, upon graphing the points, it opens upward thus we can exclude Option B as the -x^2 indicates that it opens downward.

Hanna:

So it's not B?

Hanna:

Oh wait for this question you try to find out which one of the answers have the same points in the chart?

Shadow:

So I was going to try do it one way but it turns out it's rather boring. But yes, technically. One of those lines to the left graphs the points on the right.

Hanna:

Okay let me try and see if I get it right

Shadow:

One easy way to approach this is by determining the vertex of the graph. We can see that -3 is the lowest y value, so we know that (2,-3) is the vertex. You can graph the other ones using Desmos and the like and see which one matches up with that.

Hanna:

Would it be D.?

Shadow:

Yep.

Hanna:

Okay :)

Hanna:

I went ahead and tried to do this while waiting and I'm stumped....

holy taco Hanna

Shadow:

Actually this is the same exact thing ._.

Shadow:

Which one can we eliminate from the get go?

Hanna:

C.?

Hanna:

Wait...

Hanna:

D.?

Hanna:

It can't be D. because it would be upside down.

Shadow:

mhm

Hanna:

If I type that equation into Desmos and don't put ^ above the y will it mess my equation up?

Shadow:

No. Although what you ought to do is input the set of coordinates: equation(1, 5.9), (2,8.9), (3,13.4), (4, 20.1), (5, 30.1), (6, 45.7), (7, 67.7) If you give those to http://www.wolframalpha.com it will give you the line of best fit.

Hanna:

So do I go to Desmos and type all he equitation in until I get the same answer?

Shadow:

Uh no, you type "equation(1, 5.9), (2,8.9), (3,13.4), (4, 20.1), (5, 30.1), (6, 45.7), (7, 67.7)" into the website I gave you.

Hanna:

Oh okay

Hanna:

So would the answer be C.?

Shadow:

Looks like it.

Shadow:

I'm highly confident you can use Wolfram/Desmos for the rest of these.

Hanna:

Okay thank you so much!!

Shadow:

No problem
