Which of the following functions is graphed below?

Step-by-step explanation:

For y = x^3 - 4 when x = 0, y = -4.

For y = x^2 + 3 when x = 0, y = 3.

Looking at the graph, the y-intercept of the function is below 0. Hence the bottom part is from x^3 - 4 and the top is from x^2 + 3.

The bottom part has a dark circle, which means when x = 1 it belongs to x^3 - 4.

Hence the answer is D.

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.

you can't solve x because it is 2 linear equation and you only have one equation
