Question

I know this is a lot but please help me, it is my last question and I would give you a medal AND BECOME YOUR FAN and a testimony. You have no idea how much you would help me just by doing this. #savealife

Answer 1

@mathmath333

Answer 2

giiirrrllll uz gotz ppl hittin u up left and right u good? imma let them help u:)

Answer 3

All you have to do is input the number in for x and solve.
EX:
-2(-2)^4
PEMDAS says we solve exponents first, so -2^4 is 16
-2(16)=-32

You do this with all of them, and then graph them.

Remember, the equation of a line is y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intecept

Answer 4

tHAT IS FOR B?

Answer 5

Thats for the first blank in the chart, aka the y value for x point -2

Answer 6

agh that is so confusing ;-;

Answer 7

In order to solve for m and b, you have to use a different formula.
y1-y2=m(x1-x2)

So, I gave you one set. Can you do what I did and get a second set of points?

Answer 8

Ok, lets go back. Do you understand how I got -32 as the y value for -2?

Answer 9

is it -8?

Answer 10

For which x point?

Answer 11

the f(x) part, the lower part of the chart

Answer 12

Right, but on -1, 0, 1 or 2?

Answer 13

-1

Answer 14

I got -2.
-2(-1)^4
-2(1)
-2

Show me what you did so I know what you're doing wrong.

Answer 15

i multiplyed -1 by 4

Answer 16

and then by -2

Answer 17

Ok, the 4 is an exponent.
Which is kind of multipication, but in a different way.
Instead of 1(4) it is actually 1x1x1x1. 1 times anything is the other number, or in this case 1x1=1.

Answer 18

Now that you know that, do the remaining 0, 1 and 2 and tell me your answers. I will check them for you, and then we can go over how to graph the numbers.

Answer 19

ah okay

Answer 20

0 , -16, 256

Answer 21

@potatoprincess22

Answer 22

-2(0)^4
-2(0)
0
Good
-2(1)^4
-2(1)
-2
Show me what you did here please
-2(2)^4
-2(16)
-32
Show me this one as well

Answer 23

i multiplyed it all of those numbers by the 2...like the two and waht is inisde the perenthases , and then I took that number... and x4 as in, 16 x 16 x 16 x16

Answer 24

the chart, I know it starts at zero and then it goes parallele to each other down right> ?

Answer 25

It is a parabella (I dont know how to spell it, sorry), so it will form an upside down U.

Answer 26

0 will be the peak

Answer 27

ah I got it :)
but how about c?

Answer 28

On the x and y coordinates we just went over, you want to always follow PEMDAS. Exponents come before multiplication. Im going to assume C means what kind of graph it is, which is a parabella. Basically a parabella is a graph that has 2 xs for each y, like is shown in this graph.

Do you understand what we did or do you have more questions?

Answer 29

NO THANK YOU SO MUCH X

Answer 30

Great job, I gave you a medal because even though you got most of what you did on your own wrong, you tried. I hope what I showed you helps. And if you find that you are still struggling make sure you go to your teacher privately! They are the best tool available!

Answer 31

My teacher lives far away from me haha because I attend an online school

Answer 32

BUT THANK YOU. i gave you a medal too xD

Answer 33

Oh, so do I! You can still always call them or send then an email!

Answer 34

And, its no problem! :D
