Information about the Hardy Weinberg equation: http://www.nature.com/scitable/definition/hardy-weinberg-equation-299
The Hardy Weinberg equation is a very important concept in population genetics. Suppose we have two "alleles" for a specific trait (like eye color, gender, etc..) The proportion for which allele is present is given by 
and 
Then by Hardy-Weinberg:
, where both 
and 
are non-negative.
Which statement discribes the graph that would appropriately represents the above relation?

Answer
The equation can be reduced by taking the square root of both sides.
As a simple test, all other values when substituted into the original equation fail. However, 
works. Therefore 
is our answer.
