Question

The graph shown below expresses a radical function that can be written in the form f(x)=a(x+k)^1/n+c. . What does the attached graph tell you about the value of k in this function?

A. k is less than zero.
B. It is not possible to tell whether k is greater than or less than zero.
C. k equals zero.
D. k is greater than zero.

Answer 1

k>0
k is the thing that determines when it goes right or left
When k is - it goes right
when k is + it goes left
in this case it goes to the left
so k has to be greater then 0
if if i'm not mistaking

Answer 2

make sense o. o?

Answer 3

so because k is going to the left that means that it is positive and obviously greater than zero?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

but isn't the left side of the graph the negative side? :o

Answer 6

yep the k is weird xD it does the opposite of the its sign

Answer 7

K is the on;y confusing one when talking about graphs when every there is a # with the x for example (x-3) i would go 3 to the right

Answer 8

make sense?

Answer 9

oh okay i see :p thank you soo much!! :)

Answer 10

anytime :D

Answer 11

what about the value of c
