Question

The graph of a quadratic function

Answer 1

Answer:

A

The leading coefficient is negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic equation:

A quadratic equation has the following format:

$y = ax^2 + bx + c$

The leading coefficient is a.

a negative:

The graph of the function is concave down, that is, it displays values that approach  negative infinity.

a positive:

The graph of the function is concave up, that is, it displays values that approach  up infinity.

In this question:

Displays values that approach  negative infinity, so the leading coefficient is negative, and the correct answer is given by option A.
