Which of the functions below could have created this graph?

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Two facts need to guide your answer.

One

The highest power is odd: you know this because an even power would start on the left come down do it's squiggles if had any and wind up on the right going up.

This graph comes down on the left does it's squiggles and then goes further down on the right. That's the behavior of something whose highest power is odd.

Two

The leading coefficient,  the number in front of the highest power must be minus. If it was positive as in y = x^3 the graph would be the mirror image of what it is.

Argument

B and D cannot be true. The highest power is even.

C is false because the leading coefficient is + 1.

So that leave A which is the answer.

The graph is included with this answer

dilation scale factor 2: starting with δabc, draw the dilation image of the triangle with a center at the origin and a scale factor of two. notice that every coordinate of the original triangle has been multiplied by the scale factor (x2). dilation with scale factor 2, multiply by 2.

the correct answer is c
