Question

Function "p" is in the form y = ax2 + c. If the values of "a" and "c" are both less than 0, which graph could represent "p"?

Answer 1

Since "a" and "c" are less than 0, the graph of function "p" will open downwards and have a negative y-intercept. One possible graph that could represent this type of function is a parabola that opens downwards and is shifted downward on the y-axis.
