Question

describe the similarities and differences between y=x^2 and a power funtion with a even degree higher than two?

Answer 1

when u have an even power, the value of y will always be positive, when u have an odd power, the value of y will be negative for x < 0

The higher the power the steeper the slope will be
the graphs of x^n for even and odd n's are the same except that they are inverted around the x-axis with odd n's
