Which quadratic function is best represented by this graph? f(x)=x2+6x+8

f(x)=x2−6x−8

f(x)=x2+8

f(x)=x2−6x+8

Given:

This function is a quadratic - a graph of a parabola.

Factor and let

Step-by-step explanation:

ryan had a head start of 10 meters.

x+y = 29, 5x + 2y = 100

step-by-step explanation:

i'm guessing it was a multiple first option was the correct answer
