Find the quadratic function that fits curve below. select the correct answer.

The answer is:

The quadratic function that fits the given picture is:

We can solve the problem and find the correct function that fits the curve below by finding which function intercepts the y-axis at -5 (we can see it from the picture), also, we need to look for a function that represents a parabola opening upwards. We need to remember that when a parabola is opening upwards, its quadratic term coefficient is negative.

So, we can see that from the given functions, the only function that represents a parabola opening upwards and its y-intercept is located at y equal to -5 is the second option:

We have that :

We can see that the quadratic term (a) is negative, and the quadratic function intercepts the y-axis at y equal to -5.

Hence, the answer is:

The quadratic function that fits the given picture is:

Have a nice day!

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
