Explanation
,the leading term is the term containing the highest power of x. The coefficient of the leading term is called the leading coefficient.
Step 1
a)
an easy way to tell whether the graph of a quadratic function opens upward or downward: if the leading coefficient is greater than zero, the parabola opens upward, and if the leading coefficient is less than zero, the parabola opens downward.
therefore
Step 2
b)the leading coefficient "a" indicates how "fat" or how "skinny" the parabola will be.
for
hence, more the skinny the graph is, the more closet to zero
therefore,the coefficient closest to 0 is C
Step 3
c)simiary, the graph with the leading coefficient with the grates value will be
graph B
because the coefficient is greater than zero and this graph is the more "fat"
I hope this helps you
