Answer:
u-shaped; y-intercept (0,6); symmetrical with respect to the y-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y = 2x² + 6
The graph would be the shape of that of a parabola. It can be u shaped or n shaped depending on the value of the coefficient of a comparing with the standard equation y = ax² + bx + c. If a > 0, it is u shape and if a < 0, it is n shape.
For this question, since a > 0 it would be u shaped and the intercept can be gotten by putting x = 0.
Therefore y = 0² + 6 = 0
The intercept is at (0,6) and is symmetrical with respect to the y-axis

80/100 x 30 = 24 because you just multiply percents
Answer:
If m is nonnegative (ie not allowed to be negative), then the answer is m^3
If m is allowed to be negative, then the answer is either |m^3| or |m|^3
==============================
Explanation:
There are two ways to get this answer. The quickest is to simply divide the exponent 6 by 2 to get 6/2 = 3. This value of 3 is the final exponent over the base m. Why do we divide by 2? Because the square root is the same as having an exponent of 1/2 = 0.5, so
sqrt(m^6) = (m^6)^(1/2) = m^(6*1/2) = m^(6/2) = m^3
This assumes that m is nonnegative.
---------------------------
A slightly longer method is to break up the square root into factors of m^2 each and then apply the rule that sqrt(x^2) = x, where x is nonnegative
sqrt(m^6) = sqrt(m^2*m^2*m^2)
sqrt(m^6) = sqrt(m^2)*sqrt(m^2)*sqrt(m^2)
sqrt(m^6) = m*m*m
sqrt(m^6) = m^3
where m is nonnegative
------------------------------
If we allow m to be negative, then the final result would be either |m^3| or |m|^3.
The reason for the absolute value is to ensure that the expression m^3 is nonnegative. Keep in mind that m^6 is always nonnegative, so sqrt(m^6) is also always nonnegative. In order for sqrt(m^6) = m^3 to be true, the right side must be nonnegative.
Example: Let's say m = -2
m^6 = (-2)^6 = 64
sqrt(m^6) = sqrt(64) = 8
m^3 = (-2)^3 = -8
Without the absolute value, sqrt(m^6) = m^3 is false when m = -2
