The graphs below have the same shape. What is the equation of the red graph?

We claim that the answer is Since the two graphs both open down, and all the answer choices, in addition to the equation of the blue graph, are quadratic polynomials, the leading coefficient must be negative. This immediately rules out answer choices A, B, and C, leaving D as the answer.

b

step-by-step explanation:

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
