Question

choose the correct answer below.
a. no graph appears on the screen.
b. a u - shaped curve that opens up appears on the screen.
c. a u - shaped curve that opens down appears on the screen.
d. a circle centered at (0,0) appears on the screen.
b. use the table feature of your graphing calculator to complete the following table: (simplify your answers.)

x	- 3	- 2	- 1	0	1	2	3
y	31	26	23	22	23	26	31

c. describe how you would use the results in part b to help select an appropriate viewing window.
a. the y - values are increasing from a minimum of . therefore, y_min has to be at least - 36.
b. the x - values are increasing from a minimum of . therefore, x_max has to be at least 36.
c. the y - values are increasing from a minimum of . therefore, y_max has to be at least 36.
d. the x - values are increasing from a minimum of . therefore, x_min has to be at least - 36.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze part a

Based on the context (not shown fully but from the options), we need to identify the graph - related answer. Since we don't have the function, we assume based on the given options.

Step2: Analyze part b

The table gives x - values from - 3 to 3 and corresponding y - values. The y - values seem to have a minimum of 22.

Step3: Analyze part c

When choosing a viewing window, we consider the range of y - values. The y - values are increasing from a minimum of 22. To see the entire graph well, we need to set \(Y_{min}\) such that it is less than or equal to the minimum y - value. But among the given options, the idea is related to the minimum of y - values for setting \(Y_{min}\).

Answer:

a. A. No graph appears on the screen.
b. The table is already filled as given:

x	-3	-2	-1	0	1	2	3
y	31	26	23	22	23	26	31

c. A. The y - values are increasing from a minimum of 22. Therefore, \(Y_{min}\) has to be at least - 36.
