Which graph represents the function f(x) = (x – 3)2? On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 6, 8), has a vertex at (negative 3, 0), and goes through (negative 0, 8). On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 4, 7), has a vertex at (0, negative 9), and goes through (4, 7). On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (1, 4), has a vertex at (3, 0), and goes through (5, 4). On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. It goes through (negative 2, 7), has a vertex at (0, 3), and goes through (2, 7).

Data for the height of a model rocket launch in the air over time are shown in the table. darryl predicted that the height of the rocket at 8 seconds would be about 93 meters. did darryl make a good prediction? yes, the data are best modeled by a quadratic function. the value of the function at 8 seconds is about 93 meters. yes, the data are best modeled by a linear function. the first differences are constant, so about 93 meters at 8 seconds is reasonable. no, the data are exponential. a better prediction is 150 meters. no, the data are best modeled by a cubic function. a better prediction is 100 meters.
