IM ON AN ASSIGHNMENT PLZ HELP!!!

Answer 1

I would say A but I’m not 100% sure.

Answer 2

Option D - by adding 3, then 9, then 15, …

Explanation:

Given : Function
`y=3x^2`

To find : How do the y-values of this function grow?

Solution :

From the following options the most suitable option is D.

As if we are going to add term and terms our y-values increases.

When we add any term in the function the y value value increases.

If we adding 3, then 9, then 15, … the function continuously grow term by term.

The new function became
`y=3x^2+3+9+15+...`

Therefore, Option D is correct.
