Question illustration
A
On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled time and the y-axis is labeled velocity. A cubic root function approaches x = negative 4 in quadrant 3, has a point of inflection at (negative 2.5, negative 2), and then increases into quadrant 2 and approaches x = negative 1.
Option A
B
On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled time and the y-axis is labeled velocity. A cubic root function approaches x = 1 in quadrant 1, has a point of inflection at (2.5, negative 2), and then increases into quadrant 1 and approaches x = 4.
Option B
C
On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled time and the y-axis is labeled velocity. A cubic root function approaches x = 1 in quadrant 1, has a point of inflection at (2.5, 2), and then decreases into quadrant 4 and approaches x = 5.
Option C
D
On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled time and the y-axis is labeled velocity. A cubic root function starts in quadrant 4 and increases into quadrant 1. It has a point of inflection at (8, 2) and then it continue to increase in quadrant 1.
