Question

Which function is quadratic?

Answer 1

Answer:

step 1. A, B,D are incorrectly written as these are not all coordinates. they must be written (x, y)

step 2. so the question becomes is C a quadratic

step 3. The x values must be evenly spaced. the x values are evenly spaced by a difference of 4

step 4. write out the y values: -126, -14, 2, 18

step 5. write out the differences: 140, 16, 16

step 6. write out the differences: -124, 0.

step 7. after doing this twice the numbers nust be the same for this to be a quadratic which they aren't

step 8. C is not a quadratic.
