ANSWER

B. The graph is symmetric about the origin

EXPLANATION.

The given function is

y = a {x}^{n}

When a=1,

y = {x}^{n}

Let,

f(x)= {x}^{n}

f(-x)= {( - x)}^{n}

Since n is odd,

f(-x)=-{( x)}^{n}

\Rightarrow f(-x)=-f(x)

This implies that, the function

y={x}^{n}

is symmetric with respect to origin.

The correct answer is B

Answer:

B. The graph is symmetric about the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function y=a x^{n}, where a= 1 and n= odd.

'Leading Coefficient Test' states that 'when 'n' is odd and the leading coefficient is positive, then the graph falls to the left and rises to the right'.

As we have, y=x^{n}, where n is odd and leading coefficient a=1.

So, the graph of this function will fall to the left and rise to the right.

Then, option A is not correct.

Moreover, x= 0 ⇒ y=0^{n} ⇒ y= 0.

So, this function passes though (0,0) i.e. origin.

Then, option C is not correct.

Also, 'x-intercept is the point when graph cuts the x-axis i.e. when y= 0'.

So, we have,

0=x^{n} ⇒ x= 0.

Thus, the only x-intercept is the point (0,0).

Then, option D is not correct.

From the graph below, we see that, the graph of y=x^{n} is symmetric about origin.

Hence, option B is correct.

Suppose the sales tax rate is 5% on a $1300 tv how much is is the amount of tax?
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Therefore, amount of tax is $65.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of tax = Tax% of $1300

Amount of tax = 5% of $1300

= (5/100) of $1300

= (1/20) of $1300

= $130/2

= $65

Find an equation for the perpendicular bisect or of the line segment whose end points are (-2,-4) and (8,2)
Serhud [2]

Answer:

, you must find the midpoint of the segment, the formula for which is

(

x

1

+

x

2

2

,

y

1

+

y

2

2

)

. This gives

(

−

5

,

3

)

as the midpoint. This is the point at which the segment will be bisected.

Next, since we are finding a perpendicular bisector, we must determine what slope is perpendicular to that of the existing segment. To determine the segment's slope, we use the slope formula

y

2

−

y

, which gives us a slope of

.

Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. The opposite reciprocal of

5

is

−

.

We now know that the perpendicular travels through the point

(

)

and has a slope of

Therefore, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is
