i need the completed equation for F(x)=?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

Well, let's take a look at the standard equation of a parabola, without any shifts or alterations:$$f(x)=x ^{2}$$Now, we could change the power of our exponent to any even number, and it would only make the graph steeper. If we changed the power to any odd power, it would only make the graph negative on the negative side of x. So we can know that the power didn't change from f(x) to g(x) What about adding or subtracting values to our equation?
