For which graph is the parent function y is equal to x squared ?
Answer
A
Image with description On a coordinate plane, the x and y axes list from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. A straight line with a positive slope extending infinitely is drawn. It passes through (1 point 5 comma 0) and (0 comma 3).
B
Image with description On a coordinate plane, the x and y axes list from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. There is a parabola that opens upwards and has a vertex at (negative 1 comma negative 2) and cuts the x axis at (negative 3 comma 0) and (1 comma 0).
C
Image with description On a coordinate plane, the x and y axes list from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. There is a cubic curve that passes through points (negative 1 comma negative 4), (0 comma 1), and (3 comma 5). The curve has a point of inflection at (1 comma 2).
D
Image with description On a coordinate plane, the x and y axes list from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. The V-shaped graph opening upwards has a vertex at (1 comma negative 2) and the graph cuts the x axis at (negative 1 comma 0) and (3 comma 0).
