3) The function's leading coefficient is negative.
Explanation:
(1) Is not the answer because when x = 3, f(x) = 0.
(2) Is not the answer because when f(x) = -3,
x = 0.
(4) Is also not the answer because the y-values on both sides of (1, -4) are mirroring each other.
Therefore,
(3) is the answer, by elimination, but also because there is not proof of the leading coefficient being negative, as we don't see the original equation.
