Question

Help me with this problem

Answer 1

what are you needing help with. you know how to make a t table right? and you know that the degree is even so you know the endpoints go in the same direction. and we know that the lead coefficient is negative so it tells us the endpoints go down

Answer 2

so for F(x) i can put 3,2,1,2,3 in the table and it would still work?

Answer 3

might want to make some negatives. there is no point in repeating x values since tou will just have double points

Answer 4

so -3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3?

Answer 5

sure. I guess it don't really matter if you put negatives in since it doesn't have a linear term.

Answer 6

ok so i would go with -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 for F(x)?

Answer 7

it would look something like this i think

Answer 8

i donno. plug the numbers in and graph it and see what happens. your numbers are going to be negative no matter what since the coefficient is -1. and the degree is even.
and no that is a cubic function. or more generically an odd degree function

Answer 9

on even function the endpoints should go the same direction

Answer 10

let me rephrase. when the DEGREE is even the endpoints will go the same direction

Answer 11

so i would have (-2 x -2)^2 = 4^2= 16 so f(x) would = 16?

Answer 12

looks like to me the function is
-2x^4 you have something weird going on

Answer 13

oh wait doesn't f(x) = the y- intercept?

Answer 14

hmm.. no f(x)=y

Answer 15

so its y=-2x^4

Answer 16

and it has also occurred to me that 0 for f(x) would not be a good idea

Answer 17

why not that would just make the point at the origin

Answer 18

so:
it would look like this?
