Question

Can someone please answer this, ill give you brainliest Would be very appreciated.

Answer 1

Equation:

j(x) = -3x² - 5

Which part of the equation tell us that the graph opens downward?

Solution:

Here see that the leading coefficient of x² which is (-3) is less than 0, meaning negative. a < 0 Hence, the graph will open from downwards.

Answer 2

Answer:

The coefficient of x²

Step-by-step explanation:

The part of the function j(x) which shows the graph opens downward is the coefficient of x². Depending on whether the value is positive or negative, we will understand if it opens upward or downward.
