determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. My graph of \((x-2)^{2}+(y+1)^{2}=16\) is my graph of \(x^{2}+y^{2}=16\) translated two units right and one unit down.
will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. $$ \text { If }\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)=(-3,1) \text { and }\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)=(-2,4), \text { find } \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} $$
How do you determine if an equation in \(x\) and \(y\) defines \(y\) as a function of \(x ?\)
Define a piecewise function on the intervals \((-\infty, 2],(2,5)\) and \([5, \infty)\) that does not "jump" at 2 or 5 such that one piece is a constant function, another piece is an increasing function, and the third piece is a decreasing function.
a. Graph the functions \(f(x)=x^{n}\) for \(n=2,4,\) and 6 in a \([-2,2,1]\) by \([-1,3,1]\) viewing rectangle. b. Graph the functions \(f(x)=x^{n}\) for \(n=1,3,\) and 5 in a \([-2,2,1]\) by \([-2,2,1]\) viewing rectangle. c. If \(n\) is positive and even, where is the graph of \(f(x)=x^{n}\) increasing and where is it decreasing? d. If \(n\) is positive and odd, what can you conclude about the graph of \(f(x)=x^{n}\) in terms of increasing or decreasing behavior? e. Graph all six functions in a \([-1,3,1]\) by \([-1,3,1]\) viewing rectangle. What do you observe about the graphs in terms of how flat or how steep they are?
