need help !! fan and medal awarded

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Graph y = –2x^2 + 6. Describe what you see. –2x^2 + 6 is what kind of polynomial? Classify the polynomial by degree and number of terms. Next, graph y = (-1/10)x^2 + 6. Describe what you see. How is what you observe here different from what you observed in part A? If you wanted a really steep hill for your roller coaster, would you use the graph of y = –2x^2 + 6 or y = (-1/10)x^2 + 6?

OpenStudy (zehanz):

Have you drawn the graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

back

OpenStudy (zehanz):

What part of the question is the problem for you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all of it really.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a collab assignment and this is the part the other person is supposed to do. so i cant do it.

OpenStudy (zehanz):

No, you're too pessimistic here: you already have the graph! What degree is the polynomial -x²+6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got that from another user. and im not aloud to do it.

OpenStudy (zehanz):

? What kind of help do you want then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u want to plot the graph yourself?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can use ms word or autograph or do it manually

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need someone to do it. and then explain how they did.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok choose values for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

make an x-y table

OpenStudy (zehanz):

You can do it yourself, by putting x=-3,-2, -1,0,1,2,3 inthe formula and then calculate y. Plot the (x,y) points and you can draw the parabola

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathsmind im getting help from @ZeHanz your going to confuse me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not supposed to do it. i asked if i could have someone from another site do it and the teacher said it was fine.

OpenStudy (zehanz):

OK, so you may use the graph for reference then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure. its all i got from the other user.

OpenStudy (zehanz):

OK, so you have to to the rest of the questions, like the degree of the polynomial and the number of terms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the only other part is is the one i must do myself.

OpenStudy (zehanz):

Could you state the specific question you cannot answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all of it -_- im not aloud to do this part of the assignment. i have to have someone else do it. i only have a week left to turn in the collab.

OpenStudy (zehanz):

How can I help you then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need this scenario solved.

OpenStudy (zehanz):

OK, I've drawn the other graph as well, it is the wider one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i need this for the questions ?

OpenStudy (zehanz):

If you read them, you will see you need the graph of the other function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks ! how about the questions though ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ZeHanz please help. noone else will.

OpenStudy (zehanz):

OK, the first question is: what is the degree of the polynomial and the number of terms of: –2x² + 6 The degree is the highest power of x you have. The number of terms is the number of things you have to add. You can see both the degree and the number of terms here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank u. what about Next, graph y = (-1/10)x^2 + 6. Describe what you see. How is what you observe here different from what you observed in part A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ZeHanz

OpenStudy (zehanz):

Just describe what you see when you compare the two graphs. See the image up a few entries.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not supposed to do it -_-

OpenStudy (zehanz):

Then how could you possibly answer the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not supposed to. the questions i posted are the ones the other person is supposed to do. i already explained it :/ i have my own set of questions i gotta do.

OpenStudy (zehanz):

But you asked me to help you with: "Next, graph y = (-1/10)x^2 + 6. Describe what you see. How is what you observe here different from what you observed in part A?" What kind of help do you expect if you ask a question you may not ask, because it's another person's part? If I were you, I'd get on with my life and stop bothering about things you cannot possibly solve... I really would like to help you, but at this moment, I don't see how. Have a nice weekend!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u were jus helping me. i need to get this assignment done. i have already explained it to u, and u started to help. i dont see why your refusing to help now.

OpenStudy (zehanz):

I'm not refusing, I just don't understand what you want.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need these questions answered.

OpenStudy (zehanz):

OK, take the question: "Next, graph y = (-1/10)x^2 + 6. Describe what you see. How is what you observe here different from what you observed in part A?" Just look at the graph I made for you and tell me what you see...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know. im not supposed to do it.

OpenStudy (zehanz):

We're not making progress here... As far as I know, our conversation follows this pattern: 1 - you: I have to answer question xx (about graph) 2 - me: Look at graph I made for you 3 - you: I may not look at graph 4 - me: then how can I help you 5 - GOTO 1 We're obviously stuck in an endless loop here...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see it as 1. im not supposed tod it. i have tog et someone else to. i.e U 2. okay *makes graph* what do u see. i.e asking me to do it. im not supposed to do it. im suppsoed to ge tsomeelse too. so can u jus do it like i asked ?? i really dont have much time left to waste arguing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*supposed *get someone else

OpenStudy (zehanz):

I think I'm finally beginning to understand what you want me to do. You want me to play the part of the other person, because your original partner hasn't done his/her job. So when I look at the second graph, I see a parabola that is much wider than the first one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thank u. can u answer the questions in an order ? im soo confused. Graph y = –2x^2 + 6. Describe what you see. –2x^2 + 6 is what kind of polynomial? Classify the polynomial by degree and number of terms. Next, graph y = (-1/10)x^2 + 6. Describe what you see. How is what you observe here different from what you observed in part A? If you wanted a really steep hill for your roller coaster, would you use the graph of y = –2x^2 + 6 or y = (-1/10)x^2 + 6?

OpenStudy (zehanz):

I see a parabola with a vertex at (0,6). It has a maximum 6 in x= 0. -2x²+6 is a 2nd degree polynomial, consisting of two terms. The graph of y = (-1/10)x² + 6 also has a maximum 6 in x=0, but it is much wider than the other parabola. If I wanted to go on a roller coaster ride, I would prefer it to have the shape of the first graph (y = –2x² + 6), because it is much steeper.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thNK U SOO MUCH !! SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION. I PROBABLY COULD HAVE EXPLAINED IT A LIL BETTER.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops sorry caps lock

OpenStudy (zehanz):

Never mind, I hope you're safe with your assignment now...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am. now i jus have the part i gotta do.
