Answer: y = 2x^4
The graph represents a parabolic-looking shape so it's either a quadratic or some even degree polynomial. This rules out y = -2x^3 and y = 2x^3 as they are cubics with odd degrees
The degree of a polynomial is the largest exponent. It determines the end behavior. In this case, both ends are rising upward together. Because they are rising up in the positive y direction, this means that we cannot have y = -2x^4 as the answer. For example, if x = 2 then y = -2*x^4 = -2*2^4 = -32, but the point (x,y) = (2,-32) isn't on the blue curve. So we can rule y = -2x^4 out.
The fact that y = 2x^4 has a positive leading coefficient tells us that the endpoints point upward.
Answer:

Answer:
A. The equation represents a linear function because the equation is in the form y = mx + b
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function does not have to be in the form y = mx + b, but if a function is in that form, it is a linear function.
choice A is appropriate
__
A function may have two variables, x and y, and not be a linear function. For example, y = x² is not a linear function. The fact that it has two variables is not what makes it linear.
Answer: 1 pound of cheese cost $4.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Nola purchased 2.5 pounds of cheese for 10. $50
Her mother purchased 3 pounds of the same cheese for $12.60
If the cost of the cheese varies directly with the number of pounds purchased, it means that the higher the pounds of cheese purchased, the higher the cost
To determine the the cost of 1 pound of cheese, we wound divide the the cheese by the number of pounds bought.
It becomes 10.5/2.5 = 4.2
The answer is 5. Take 10 and divide that into 2 groups equally.
