The function pictured has the form of y = k(x^2) What is the value of k?

A. 0.2
B. 0
C. 4
D. -2

1 answer

Based on the graph, we can see that the function passes through the point (1,4). We can substitute this point into the equation to solve for k:

4 = k(1^2)
4 = k(1)
4 = k

Therefore, the value of k is 4.

The correct answer is C. 4.
