A hammock is suspended between two trees. The curve the hammock makes can be modelled by the equation, y = 0.2x2 – 0.4x – 0.6, where x and y are measured in meters.

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

graph #4 (last graph) depict the function   f(x)= -m(x-d)^1/5 i

step-by-step explanation:

we know that

m=slope

but in this function slope is -m that means slope is decreasing and it is decreasing by 1/5 points down the x-axis.

which is shown in graph four

a decreasing slope down x-axis by 1/5 points.

hence 4th graph is the right option for this.
