A. f(x)=(x-2)^2+1

B. f(x)=(x+2)^2+1

C. f(x)=(x-2)(x+1)

The roller coaster could be represented by the function for Choice D.

If you were to graph this function, you would find that the zeros (x-intercepts) of the function are at the points of -2 and 1. Those are the needed points in the problem.

Since this is a parabola that opens upward, the parabola must be below the axis (or support bar) between those values.

What is the expression in factored form? x2 + 14x + 48
scZoUnD [109]
(x+6)(x+8) = 0 
x = -6 or x = -8

I'm just wondering, does the equation happen to be  2x^2 + 14x + 48? That would make more sense with the answer I got.
