Question 985455
Familiarity with parabola functions would help.  All of the parabola function choices are symmetric around the y-axis and either open upward or downward.  Each of those functions evaluated each at x=-2 and x=2 are equal there.  You want {{{f(2)<f(-2)}}}.  The only choice left un-examined in the linear function; and this one fails to have {{{f(2)<f(-2)}}}.  This linear function slopes upward from left to right, inconsistent with the specified condition.


NONE of the function choices satisfy the condition.
