Predict what the graph of the following quadratic function will look like. (If you have a graphing calculator, you can use it to verify your prediction.) y = 0.3 x squared minus 5
a.
Upward facing parabola-shaped; y-intercept (5, 0); symmetrical with respect to the y-axis
b.
Downward facing parabola-shaped; y-intercept (0, -5); symmetrical with respect to the y-axis
c.
Upward facing parabola-shaped; y-intercept (0, -5); symmetrical with respect to the y-axis
d.
Downward facing parabola-shaped; y-intercept (5, 0); symmetrical with respect to the y-axis

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
