Answer:

Graph will open same way and is narrower.

Step-by-step explanation

If: f(x)= x^4

f(-2x)= (-2x)^4

Negative sign usually flips the graph and make it open to the opposite direction. In this case since the function is to the 4th degree and the negative sign is included. The negative is basically ignored.

The term in front of x (a) determines how wide the graph opens. The bigger the a value the faster the slope increases so the narrower the graph opens.

Think if the slope is 4 vs 1/4.

Hope this helps

How to find the volume

aev [14]

Answer: 1.44 centimeters cubed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, use the following formula:

$V=whl$ , where w equals the width, h equals the height, and l equals the length.

Substituting 0.6, 1, and 2.4 for the variables:

V = 0.6 * 1 * 2.4

V = 1.44 cm^3

The volume of the prism is 1.44 centimeters cubed.

What does 2.6x10 to the7 th power

ss7ja [257]

This is called scientific notation. To simplify, just do 10 to the 7th (1 with 7 zero's behind it) to get 10,000,000 (10 million) then multiply that by 2.6 to get your final answer:
26 million or 26,000,000

Just so you know, picking a brainliest answer gives YOU back points, and I kind of need the rank upgrade, as it's kind of embarrassing being Ambitious with more than 9 times the amount of points needed and around 7 times the number of brainliest answers.
