OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please anyone?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Hard question. Usually if you are looking at the graph it will intersect b times if you have f(x)=x^b....... IDK

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@stardogchampion are you helping me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@BulletWithButterflyWings can you help me?

OpenStudy (schrodingers_cat):

Remember an even function such as x^2 is defined as f(-a) =f(a) whereas an odd function such as x^3 is defined as f(-a) =-f(a) Hope this helps :)

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

I think if it's an even power it will be symmetric on an axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you know that please cna you explain it to me? @wolfe8

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

Well, as @Schrodingers_Cat said: when the power is even, if you put in a negative value you will get the same answer as if you put in a positive value. So you will have a 2 values of x(one positive, one negative) going up to one value of y. That will result in a graph that has symmetry. I hope that helps. I have to go get lunch now. Good luck.
