Question

Graph the function f(x)=-x^4-4.

Answer 1

What are the x & y coordinates? I seem to have gotten that part wrong.

Answer 2

its -4x^2 so the graph will be inverted

Answer 3

Joeywhite is correct.

This is the graph.

Answer 4

but the equation is -x^4-4, not -x^2-4 so that cannot be the graph

Answer 5

or in other words, a simple parabola could not be the graph of -x^4-4

Answer 6

Does anybody know the x & y coordinates?

Answer 7

oop, i didn't see the negative sign, but yes x^4 can be a parabola but wider

Answer 8

maximum is at (0, -4)

Answer 9

i meant to say - x^4 in my first post - honest!! lol

Answer 10

@dmartinez - the graph passes through the y axis at y = -4 and open downwards like an inverted U

Answer 11

ok with that?
