Which of these is the quadratic parent function? a. f(x) = x2 b. f(x) = x2 + 3 c. f(x) = x2 – 5 d. f(x) = –4x2

The correct option is A. f(x) = x²

Step-by-step explanation:

B. f(x) = x² + 3

This is not the parent function as the parent quadratic function x² is translated to left by 3 units

So, This option is rejected

C. f(x) = x² - 5

This is not the parent function as the parent quadratic function x² is translated to right by 5 units

So, This option is rejected

D. f(x) = -4x²

This is not the parent function as the parent quadratic function x² is translated down by 4 units

So, This option is rejected

A. f(x) = x²

As this function is in its base form so this is the parent function and this is the required correct option

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
