Which function describes the graph shown below?

On a coordinate plane, a curve crosses the y-axis at (0, negative 2), increases to negative 2.5, decreases to negative 2.5, and then increases again.
y = one-half sine (x) minus 2
y = 2 sine (x) minus one-half
y = one-half cosine (x) minus 2
y = 2 cosine (x) minus one-half

Is there a direction u in which the rate of change of f(x, y)equals=x squared minus 3 xy plus 4 y squaredx2−3xy+4y2 at p(1,2) equals 14? give reasons for your answer. choose the correct answer below. a. no. the given rate of change is smaller than the minimum rate of change. b. no. the given rate of change is larger than the maximum rate of change. c. yes. the given rate of change is larger than the minimum rate of change and smaller than the maximum rate of change.
