I'm sure there's an easier way of solving it than the way I did, but I'm not sure what it could be. Never dealt with a problem like this before.
Anyway, I just plugged in and tested. Chose random values for a, b, c, and d, which follow the rule 0 < a < b < c < d:
a = 1
b = 2
c = 3
d = 4


Simplify into standard form:



Use the quadratic formula to solve:

For functions in the form of

. So in this case:
a = 1
b = -4
c = 2
Plug them in:

Solve for 'x':




So the answer would be A.
Need more information on the choice, please provide
Yes, because each input value corresponds to exactly one output value.Yes, because the outputs increase as the inputs increase.No, because the graph is not continuous.No, because the curve indicates that the rate of change is not constant.
