Which of the following is the graph of ƒ (x ) = x 2?

click on the graph until the correct graph appears.

Graph represented by 1st option is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation . We are asked to choose the graph for our given equation.

We know that our given equation represents a parabola, whose vertex is at origin.

Upon looking at our given graphs, we can see that 1st graph represents an upward opening parabola centered at origin, therefore, option A is the correct choice.

The 2nd graph represents an absolute value function, whose vertex is at origin, therefore, 2nd option is not a correct choice.

The 3rd graph represents a line that passes through origin, therefore, 3rd option is not a correct choice as well.

look at the picture.

y-intercept for the function on a picture is 4 → point (0, 4).

y-intercept for the function

is for x = 0. substitute:

y-intercept is 8 → point (0, 8).
