Graphs *Fact: Frequently, test writers only have 1 answer that could POSSIBLY be correct! Sample question (2009 releases TAKS): The height, h, of a football when kicked with respect to time, t, is described by the function: Which graph shows the correct sketch of this function?
Graphs This question is a basic understanding question! Look at the given function: What do we know about it? It is a parabola.
Graphs This question is a basic understanding question! Look at the given function: What do we know about it? It is a parabola. The parabola opens down.
Graphs This question is a basic understanding question! Look at the given function: What do we know about it? It is a parabola. The parabola opens down. The it crosses the y-axis at the origin.
Graphs Therefore, based upon that there is only one answer that can be correct Sample question (2009 releases TAKS): The height, h, of a football when kicked with respect to time, t, is described by the function: Which graph shows the correct sketch of this function?

This is a another basic understanding question! This also test your basic understanding of “diameter”. Even if you are confused by this question, consider: A, C, & D and are all diagonals.
This is a another basic understanding question! This also test your basic understanding of “diameter”. Even if you are confused by this question, consider: Answers choices The only segment that from face to face is B
