snowflake0531:

We need 25 positive, so, which ones can we already eliminate fromt ehchoices

carmelle:

A

snowflake0531:

We also see that ax^2 + bx +c, b is negative so, which other ones can we eliminate

carmelle:

D?

snowflake0531:

Yep and then we are left with teh middle two We see that it is squared (^2) so which means that ax^2 +bx+c, a is 4, so, when it's squared, what does it turn into

carmelle:

2?

snowflake0531:

Yep, so which answer choice is it

carmelle:

C

snowflake0531:
