Which of the following describes the function −x3 + 5? select one: a. the degree of the function is odd, so the ends of the graph continue in opposite directions. because the leading coefficient is positive, the left side of the graph continues down the coordinate plane and the right side continues upward. b. the degree of the function is odd, so the ends of the graph continue in the same direction. because the leading coefficient is negative, the left side of the graph continues down the coordinate plane and the right side also continues downward. c. the degree of the function is odd, so the ends of the graph continue in opposite directions. because the leading coefficient is negative, the left side of the graph continues up the coordinate plane and the right side continues downward. d. the degree of the function is odd, so the ends of the graph continue in the same direction. because the leading coefficient is positive, the left side of the graph continues up the coordinate plane and the right side also continues upward.

Option c is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the function:

We can see the degree that is the highest power is 3 which is odd and leading coefficient is negative that is coefficient of degree variable.

Therefore, option a and d are discarded.

And you can see the attachment for the graph of given function.

The left side of the graph continues up the coordinate plane and right side continues downward.

Therefore, Option c is correct.

C. The degree of the function is odd, so the ends of the graph continue in opposite directions. Because the leading coefficient is negative, the left side of the graph continues up the coordinate plane and the right side continues downward.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function given by .

As, the highest power of the variable 'x' is 3. Thus, the degree of f(x) is odd.

It is known that, 'When the degree of a function is odd, the graph of the function goes in opposite directions'.

So, options B and D are wrong.

Moreover, as the co-efficient of the variable having highest power i.e. is -1.

So, the leading co-efficient is negative.

It is known that, 'When the leading co-efficient of a function is negative, the graph of the function rises to the left and falls to the right'.

Also, we can see from the figure below that, the graph of the function continues upward on the left and downwards on the right.

Thus, option A is wrong.

Hence, option C is correct for the function .

a net is a diagram that shows a “flattened” view of a solid. in a net, each face and base is shown with all of its dimensions. a net can also serve as a pattern to build a three-dimensional solid.

a pyramid is a three-dimensional object with a base that is a polygon and triangular faces that meet at one vertex.

" the net of a triangular pyramid consists of four triangles. the base here we are given of the pyramid is a equilateral   triangle, and the lateral faces are also triangles "
