Determine whether the graph of y^5=x^3 is symmetric with respect to the Y axis the x-axis or the origin.
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
the origin
Step-by-step explanation:
Both terms are of odd degree, so the function is an odd function. It is symmetrical with respect to the origin.

If you recast this as y = f(x), then ...
f(x) = x^(3/5)
When we look at f(-x), we find ...
f(-x) = ((-x)^3)^(1/5) = -(x^3)^(1/5) = -(x^(3/5)) = -f(x)
An odd root of a number has the same sign as the number.
When f(-x) = -f(x), the function is odd and symmetrical about the origin.

Answer:
or y = 0.25x + 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to try change the subject from x to y.
x = 4y - 2
We first move -2 to the left, making the equation
x + 2 = 4y i.e.
4y = x + 2
We then divide both sides by 4.
or y = 0.25x + 0.5
We now have successfully made y the subject, and effectively solving the equation.
