Determine the quadratic function f(x) = ax^2 + bx whose graph passes through the point (2,9) and has a horizontal tangent at x = −1.

A. plot the data for the functions ƒ(x) and g(x) on a grid. b. identify each function as linear, quadratic, or exponential, and use complete sentences to explain your choices. c. describe what happens to the function values in each function as x increases from left to right. d. at what value(s) of x are the function values equal? if you cannot give exact values for x, give estimates.
