what type of graph are these...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which one, first or second?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

first is an absolute value graph

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

second is a parabola (which is the graph of a quadratic equation)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it can only be one of these options linear, rational, quadratic, cubic, radical, or absolute value function. @jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so quadratic?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can i ask you a couple more?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

technically the second graph is a parabola, but quadratic is the next best thing

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if possible give what you think the answers are

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

What type of graph is |dw:1343688344883:dw| Any ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

radical

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's a cubic function

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

graphing something like y = x^3 will give you something similar to that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the first is a cubic?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the second is a radical, since it deals with radicals (another name for square roots)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes 1st: cubic 2nd: radical

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok gotcha! i have 2 last ones.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

1st: rational (since we're getting horz and vert asymptotes 2nd: linear (a straight line)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think the second one is linear

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you nailed it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha thanks! :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you're welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Create your own radical function and graph that function using technology. Submit both the function and the graph to your instructor. @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

any ideas on this one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

none at all
