Correct option: (a) a is negative, and b is even
Reason: Since it is already given that b is positive, it order to make values of y = f(x) positive, it must hold true that (1) a be negative and (2) b be an even number
This is because even when x is very large and negative, the negative sign of a would make the product positive and an even sign of b would make the square of the term (x-3) positive again.

What does the graph of the polynomial function tell you about the (A) sign of the leading coefficient, (B) the degree of the function, and (C) the number of real zeros? Explain your answers! A. OThe sign of the leading coefficient is negative because the end behavior is from an equation of odd degree and negative leading coefficient OThe sign of the leading coefficient is positive because the end behavior is from an equation of odd degree and positive leading...
The transformation of a function f(x) into a function g(x) is given by g(x) = Af(Bx + H) + K. where the constants • A vertically scales the function. (negative A reflects the function about the x-axis.) • B horizontally scales the function. (negative B reflects the function about the y-axis.) • H horizontally shifts the function. • K vertically shifts the function. Transform f(z) into g(x) where the transformation is g(x) = -f(x) The function f(s) is shown below...
