Question

Y = x2 + 11x + 24 Determine if the graph depicts the rain gauge

Answer 1

The graph of this equation is shown in the figure below. We know that this equation is given as follows:

$y=x^{2}+11x+24$


So, it is obvious that this is not a representation of a rain gauge. This graph represents a parable, but the rain gauge seems to be more like a truncated cone
