What type of equation would match the graph above?
- Linear
- Hyperbola
- Parabola
- Truncus
- Cubic
Correct Answer

A. Parabola

Explanation

The graph shown in the question has a U-shape, which is a characteristic of a parabola. A parabola is a type of equation that represents a quadratic function. It has the general form of y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants. The graph of a parabola can open upwards or downwards, depending on the value of the coefficient a. In this case, since the graph opens upwards, it suggests that the equation matches a parabola.
