Answer:

To try to explain, I’m going to give you a new way to read fractions. For a/b, say “b of them make a”. For example, 1/3 is “3 of them make 1”, because 1/3+1/3+1/3=1. 2/7 is “7 of them make 2”, because 2/7+2/7+2/7+2/7+2/7+2/7+2/7=2. This works for whole numbers a and b.

You can change the numbers like so: “3 of them make 1” is the same as “6 of them make 2”, and so 1/3=2/6. Similarly “7 of them make 2” is the same as “14 of them make 4” so 2/7=4/14. “2 of them make 12” is the same as “1 of them makes 6”, so 12/2=6/1=6.

Now 1/0.1 is “0.1 of them make 1”. Whatever “they” are, you only need 0.1 of them to make 1, so “they” must be bigger than 1. How much bigger? Following the pattern, “0.1 of them make 1” is the same as “0.2 of them make 2”, “0.5 of them make 5”, and “1 of them makes 10”. So 1/0.1=10

C. x³+10x²−5x+5

E. 7x⁵+4x²

F. x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph they described should look something like the one i drew below.

So all you have to do is look at the number with the highest exponent.

If the exponent is an odd number and the x is positive then that function will have an end behavior like the picture i posted.

x³ is good

-x³ is bad because of the negative sign

x² is bad because exponent is even
