Answer:
(a) (-2, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The orthocenter is the point of concurrence of the altitudes of the triangle.
A plot of the triangle vertices shows the triangle to be acute. That means the orthocenter is inside. This eliminates choices B, C, D, which are all points outside the triangle.
__
Conveniently, side LM is horizontal. This means the orthocenter will have the x-coordinate of the vertical line through N, which is -2. Only one answer choice has an x-coordinate of -2:
a (-2, 4)
ANSWER
C. The left end goes up; the right end goes down.
EXPLANATION
The given function is
We analyze the end behavior of this function using the leading term.
The leading term of this function is:
Since the degree(5) is odd and the leading coefficient (-2) is negative, the graph rises on the left and falls on the right.
In other words, the left end of the graph goes up and the right end goes down.
The correct option is C.
