Question

A function is in the form g(x) = (x - c)2 + d. If cis positive and dis negative,

which could be the graph of g(x)?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

This is written in vertex notation, meaning that (c,d) is the vertex. We know that c is positive and d is negative, meaning the vertex will be in the 4th quadrant. As for whether the parabola opens upwards or downwards, the quadratic term has a positive coefficient of 1, meaning the parabola opens upwards.
