Question

Mai graphs the function p given by
p(x) = (x + 1)(x-2)(x +15) and sees this
graph.
She says, "This graph looks like a a parabola, so it must
be a quadratic."
Is Mai correct? Why or why not?

Answer 1

She is not correct, this is because none of the variables are squared or anything above that, the variable doesn’t have an exponent
