I'm not sure what you mean by "extends from", but a negative leading coefficient of a quadratic causes it to become concave, as in extending downwards. For y = -x^2, the function's maximum is 0.

I wouldn't use the phrase "extends from." If the leading coeff. is neg, then the graph opens downward. Without more info we do not know the max of this fn. If we did know it, we could state that the graph max is (value) and that the graph "extends downward from this value."

jeyben [28]

Answer:

quadrant 4

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it helpful to remember that the cosine is positive in the right half-plane, and the sine is positive in the top half-plane. Knowing the relationship between sine and cosine and all the other trig functions, you can figure their signs in the various quadrants.

The bottom half-plane (sin < 0) and the right half-plane (cos > 0) overlap in the 4th quadrant.
