Math Problem Statement
Solution
This problem involves analyzing the properties of a quadratic function given its graph, and determining which statement about the constants , , and is correct.
From the image:
- The graph is a parabola that opens upward, indicating that .
- The parabola crosses the -axis at two points, so the discriminant (there are two real roots).
- The parabola crosses the -axis above the origin, indicating that .
- depends on the relative signs of and .
We analyze each choice to determine the correct statement:
Key observations:
- since the parabola opens upwards.
- can be positive or negative (depending on the symmetry of the graph).
- since the -intercept is positive.
Options analysis:
-
Option A: and .
implies (as ). This holds if . -
Option B: and .
Incorrect, as , cannot be negative.
