An engineer is using a polynomial function to model the height of a roller coaster over time x, as shown. The engineer wants to modify the roller coaster design by transforming the function. Which represents , the modified design of the roller coaster?

Question illustration
Answer
A
On a coordinate plane, a curve increases from quadrant 3 and crosses the y-axis at (0, 10). It then decreases and goes through (20, 10). It continues to decrease and then starts to increase and goes through (30, 10).
Option A
B
On a coordinate plane, a curve increases from quadrant 3 and crosses the y-axis at (0, negative 10). It then decreases and goes through (20, negative 10). It continues to decrease and then starts to increase and goes through (30, negative 10).
Option B
C
On a coordinate plane, a curve increases from quadrant 3 and crosses the y-axis at (0, 20). It then decreases and then increases again.
Option C
D
On a coordinate plane, a curve increases from quadrant 3 and crosses the y-axis at (0, 10). It then decreases and goes through (20, negative 10). It continues to decrease and then starts to increase and goes through (30, negative 10).
Option D
An engineer is using a polynomial function to…
