Which of the graphs shown is given by the equation; y = 2x^3 + 4x + 3?
- a
- b
- c
Explanation from PART66Online
y = 2x^3 + 4x + 3 contains an x cubed term, so its graph is a cubic: the S-shaped curve c. Its gradient, 6x^2 + 4, is always positive, so this particular cubic rises all the way, getting steeper on both sides of the y-axis, which it crosses at y = 3. A linear equation gives a straight line (graph a) and a quadratic gives a U-shaped parabola (graph b).

It is just basic picture. Questions aim is to check your knowledge about equations and graphs. You have to know how many turning points has graph with given equation.
