hint: think of when n = 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get it sorry

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if a = 1, n = 2, then y = ax^n turns into y = 1x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would also think of the value of a and what happens if a>0 or a<0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so there answer is b?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

graph y = x^2 and you'll see a few possible choices eliminated

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh its C
