need help !! fan and medal awarded
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?
Have you drawn the graph?
back
What part of the question is the problem for you?
all of it really.
its a collab assignment and this is the part the other person is supposed to do. so i cant do it.
No, you're too pessimistic here: you already have the graph! What degree is the polynomial -x²+6?
i got that from another user. and im not aloud to do it.
? What kind of help do you want then?
do u want to plot the graph yourself?
you can use ms word or autograph or do it manually
i need someone to do it. and then explain how they did.
ok choose values for x
make an x-y table
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
@mathsmind im getting help from @ZeHanz your going to confuse me.
ok
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.
OK, so you may use the graph for reference then?
not sure. its all i got from the other user.
OK, so you have to to the rest of the questions, like the degree of the polynomial and the number of terms?
the only other part is is the one i must do myself.
Could you state the specific question you cannot answer?
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.
How can I help you then?
i need this scenario solved.
OK, I've drawn the other graph as well, it is the wider one.
do i need this for the questions ?
If you read them, you will see you need the graph of the other function
okay thanks ! how about the questions though ?
@ZeHanz please help. noone else will.
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.
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?
@ZeHanz
Just describe what you see when you compare the two graphs. See the image up a few entries.
im not supposed to do it -_-
Then how could you possibly answer the question?
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.
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!
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.
I'm not refusing, I just don't understand what you want.
i need these questions answered.
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...
i dont know. im not supposed to do it.
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...
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.
*supposed *get someone else
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.
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?
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.
thNK U SOO MUCH !! SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION. I PROBABLY COULD HAVE EXPLAINED IT A LIL BETTER.
oops sorry caps lock
Never mind, I hope you're safe with your assignment now...
i am. now i jus have the part i gotta do.
