A and C
Graph ___ is y = x84
B
Graph ___is y = −5x4
C
Graph several monomial functions where a = 1 and n is odd. For example, y = x3, y = x5, y = x7, and so on. Trace along the functions, then check all of the statements that are true about all of these functions.
The graph is symmetric about the origin. The graph has only 1 y-intercept.
What is the range of the function in this situation?
V(r)>_0
Graph _ is y = −3x8
b
Graph _ is y = 0.25x8
c
As x < 0 decreases, f(x)
decreases
For even monomial functions y = axn where a < 0:As x > 0 increases, f(x)
decreases
For odd power functions, a < 0:As x > 0 increases, f(x) As x < 0 decreases, f(x)
decreases, increases
As x > 0 increases, f(x) decreases. As x < 0 decreases, f(x) decreases.
even, a is negative

On the calculator, graph several monomial functions where a = 1 and n is even. For example, y = x4, y = x6, y = x8, and so on. Trace along the functions, then check all of the statements that are true about all of these functions.
The graph opens up. The graph passes through (0, 0). The graph only has 1 x-intercept.
Which of the following are properties of the graph of an odd monomial function? Select all that apply.
When a > 0, the graph has no minimum or maximum point When a < 0, the graph has no minimum or maximum point. When a < 0, the graph is in Quadrants II and IV. As | a | increases, the graph becomes narrower.
