Question
**Question 7** (5 points)

What type of function does this graph describe?

![Graph](unnamed)

The graph shows a U-shaped curve that opens upwards. The vertex of the curve is located at the origin (0, 0) on the Cartesian plane. The curve is symmetrical with respect to the y-axis, passing through points such as (1, 1) and (-1, 1), indicating that as the x-values increase or decrease, the y-values increase as well.

**Graph Details:**
- The curve intersects the y-axis at the origin.
- The graph extends indefinitely upwards as you move away from the y-axis along the x-axis.
- The curve is evenly distributed across the positive and negative x-axis, maintaining symmetry.

**Options:**
- a) Exponential
- b) Quadratic
- c) Linear
- d) Rational

**Note:** The graph is characteristic of a quadratic function, which is typically presented as \( y = ax^2 + bx + c \).
