Question

help me plz!

Answer 1

Try plugging in the x values and see if you get the correct y value using each equation.

Answer 2

For example, using y=x works for (1,1), but not for (2,8)

Answer 3

Make sense?

Answer 4

so is it B ?

Answer 5

i just dont get the 2 on top :/ @JoannaBlackwelder

Answer 6

No, I don't get B. What do you mean the 2 on top?

Answer 7

like on b how the 2 is on top i dont know what that means?

Answer 8

I think you mean the exponent.

Answer 9

is it c? i just need help so i can get the rest!

Answer 10

yeah how does the exponent work?

Answer 11

The exponent means how many time you multiply the base together.

Answer 12

For example, 2^2 means 2*2.

Answer 13

3^2 means 3*3 or 9.

Answer 14

Make sense?

Answer 15

yes so whats the answer ? :/ @JoannaBlackwelder

Answer 16

You tell me which equation works now that you are understanding exponents.

Answer 17

For B, 1^2 = 1, so the first pair of numbers works. How about 2 and 8?

Answer 18

Does that work for y=x^2?

Answer 19

In other words, does 2^2=8?

Answer 20

nope!

Answer 21

Good! So B is out. Can you try C?

Answer 22

ok C is wrong because 2* 3 = 6 so it must be D ?

Answer 23

Exponents aren't the same as multiplication. You need to multiply the base number as many times as the exponent says. So, 2^3 = 2*2*2

Answer 24

oh so its C ?(:

Answer 25

Right :) Since 3^3 = 3*3*3=27

Answer 26

and 4^3=4*4*4=64 :)

Answer 27

omfg thanks so much i finally get it !((:
