Based on the context provided, we can analyze the statements regarding the parabola.
-
The a-value is negative. - If the parabola opens downwards, then this statement would be true. If it opens upwards, it would be false. Without visualizing the graph, we cannot determine this.
-
The c-value of the equation in standard form is −1. - The c-value represents the y-intercept of the quadratic equation in the form \(y = ax^2 + bx + c\). If the parabola intersects the y-axis at \(y = -1\), then this would be true.
-
The c-value of the equation in standard form is −10. - Similar to the previous statement, if the y-intercept of the parabola is at \(y = -10\), then this would be true.
-
The vertex is located at (3, −10). - The vertex of a parabola is a critical point that can be identified from the graph. If the vertex is at the coordinates (3, -10) as indicated, this statement would be true.
From the descriptions and without the image, it’s hard to determine which of these statements can be confirmed. However, if there is one specific statement that you are more inclined to believe based on the information or the typical shapes of parabolas, you may select it as the correct response.
To answer correctly, one would ideally observe the characteristics of the parabola in relation to the x and y intercepts and the orientation of the graph. If you have access to the graph, look for the vertex and the intercepts to choose the accurate statement.
