Question

function “p” is in the form y = ax 2+c. if the values of “a” and “c” are both less than 0. which graph could represent “p”?

Answer 1

Answer: p= 2+c

Explanation:

Answer 2

Since the value of a is less than 0, the graph of the parabola would be opening downwards. Because of this we can rule out option C. In a quadratic equation, c represents the y-intercept, and, in this case c is negative, meaning the y-intercept is less than 0. Only option B has a downward-opening curve and a y-intercept less than 0, so it is the answer.
