Select the graph of the equation below.
y= -1/4x^2+1

a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you have the different parabolas there, the simplest way to determine which one is, is replacing x as 0 and then y as 0

y = -1/4x^2 + 1

When x = 0

y = -1/4 (0)^2 +1 = 1

When y = 0

0 = -1/4x^2 +1

1/4 x^2 = 1

x^2 = 4

x = + 2

x = - 2

The parabola with points:

(0,1); (-2,0) and (2,0) is a.

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.

graph b

step-by-step explanation:

one solution- graph a (clear intercepting point.)

no solution- graph b (they're parallel, there will never be a point of interception.)

infinite solutions- graph c (all points intercept.)
