for positive values of x it will rise steeply to the right what do you think it would do for negative vales of x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it will rise no matter what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because there is no negative value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but if It had been a negative value it would fall

OpenStudy (welshfella):

2* (-2)^5 = -64 2*(-3)^5 = -486

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes as you see it falls to the left on negative side of y-axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is B?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yea
