f(x)=a(x+k)^(1/n)+c.
What does the graph tell you about the value of a in this function? (provide graph in a sec)

A. a is greater than zero
B. It is not possible to tell whether a is grater than or less than zero.
C. a=1
D a is less than zero

Would a be greater than zero? Looking at my calculator, the graph seems to change how high it goes. Not 100% sure however.

Yes  If a > 1 then the graph will rise above that when its = 1
If a < 1  but greater than zero the graph will go down
