Me you guys ill give you a
the table below represents a function.
heres the table
x 1 2 3 4 5
y 1 16 64 256 1,024
which statement would best describe the graph of the function?
the graph is a straight line that has a slope of 8.
the graph is a horizontal line at y = 16.
the graph starts flat but curves steeply upward.
the graph is a parabola that opens upward.

(c) The graph starts flat but curves steeply upward.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The graph is a straight line that has a slope of 8

In the table, the value y increases. there is no constant increase in y

So The graph is not a straight line

(b) The graph is a horizontal line at y = 16

For y=16 graph, the value of y remains the same

The value of y changes in the table

So the graph is not a horizontal line

(c) The graph starts flat but curves steeply upward.

The value of y on the table increases rapidly. So we can say that graph starts flat and curves steeply upward.

(d) The graph is a parabola that opens upward.

There is no vertex mentioned in the table. the y values goes on increasing.

In parabola, the graph increases and then decreases or vice versa .

So the graph of given table is not a parabola

i can you answer this question sweetie!
