18:16:31 `q001. Note that this assignment has 8 questions Evaluate the function y = x^2 for x values -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, and 3. What are your y values?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 9,4,1,0,1,4,9 in this order according to the x values confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
18:16:39 You should have obtained y values 9, 4, 1, 0, 1, 4, 9, in that order.

18:17:22 `q002. Evaluate the function y = 2^x for x values -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, and 3. What are your y values?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> .125, .25, .5, 1,2,4,8 confidence assessment: 3

......!!!!!!!!...................................
18:17:29 By velocity exponents, b^-x = 1 / b^x. So for example 2^-2 = 1 / 2^2 = 1/4. Your y values will be 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4 and 8. Note that we have used the fact that for any b, b^0 = 1. It is a common error to say that 2^0 is 0. Note that this error would interfere with the pattern or progression of the y values.

18:18:43 `q003. Evaluate the function y = x^-2 for x values -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, and 3. What are your y values?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> .11111, 1/4, 1, there is not one, 1, 1/4, .11111. There is no y value for 0 confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
18:18:52 By the laws of exponents, x^-p = 1 / x^p. So x^-2 = 1 / x^2, and your x values should be 1/9, 1/4, and 1. Since 1 / 0^2 = 1 / 0 and division by zero is not defined, the x = 0 value is undefined. The last three values will be 1, 1/4, and 1/9.

18:20:22 The y values should be -27, -8, -1, 0, 1, 4, 9.

18:25:11 `q005. Sketch graphs for y = x^2, y = 2^x, y = x^-2 and y = x^3, using the values you obtained in the preceding four problems. Describe the graph of each function.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> for y=x^2 the graph is a parabola that goes upward, for y=2^x the line curves up to the right starting around -3 on the x axis, for y=x^-2 has a steep upward slope on both sides of the y axis that do not cross the x axis, and the last graph y=x^3 kinda makes an s shape. It swerves right on the middle of the graph. half of it is in the bottom left quadrant and the other is in the top right confidence assessment: 2

18:25:21 02-16-2009 18:25:21 The graph of y = x^2 is a parabola with its vertex at the origin. It is worth noting that the graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. That is, the graph to the left of the y-axis is a mirror image of the graph to the right of the y-axis. The graph of y = 2^x begins at x = -3 with value 1/8, which is relatively close to zero. The graph therefore starts to the left, close to the x-axis. With each succeeding unit of x, with x moving to the right, the y value doubles. This causes the graph to rise more and more quickly as we move from left to right. The graph intercepts the y-axis at y = 1. The graph of y = x^-2 rises more and more rapidly as we approach the y-axis from the left. It might not be clear from the values obtained here that this progression continues, with the y values increasing beyond bound, but this is the case. This behavior is mirrored on the other side of the y-axis, so that the graph rises as we approach the y-axis from either side. In fact the graph rises without bound as we approach the y-axis from either side. The y-axis is therefore a vertical asymptote for this graph. The graph of y = x ^ 3 has negative y values whenever x is negative and positive y values whenever x is positive. As we approach x = 0 from the left, through negative x values, the y values increase toward zero, but the rate of increase slows so that the graph actually levels off for an instant at the point (0,0) before beginning to increase again. To the right of x = 0 the graph increases faster and faster. Be sure to note whether your graph had all these characteristics, and whether your description included these characteristics. Note also any characteristics included in your description that were not included here.

18:26:00 `q006. Make a table for y = x^2 + 3, using x values -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3. How do the y values on the table compare to the y values on the table for y = x^2? How does the graph of y = x^2 + 3 compare to the graph of y = x^2?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> the y values for tor this equation are 12,7,4,3,4,7,12 and the y values for y=x^2 were 9,4,1,0,1,4,9, so the numbers are just higher by three. the graphs are also similar the vertex just moves up three on the y axis confidence assessment: 2
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
18:26:12 A list of the y values will include, in order, y = 12, 7, 4, 3, 4, 7, 12. A list for y = x^2 would include, in order, y = 9, 4, 1, 0, 1, 4, 9. The values for y = x^2 + 3 are each 3 units greater than those for the function y = x^2. The graph of y = x^2 + 3 therefore lies 3 units higher at each point than the graph of y = x^2.

18:26:55 `q007. Make a table for y = (x -1)^3, using x values -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3. How did the values on the table compare to the values on the table for y = x^3? Describe the relationship between the graph of y = (x -1)^3 and y = x^3.

18:27:09 The values you obtained should have been -64, -27, -8, -1, 0, 1, 8. The values for y = x^3 are -27, -8, -1, 0, 1, 8, 27. The values of y = (x-1)^3 are shifted 1 position to the right relative to the values of y = x^3. The graph of y = (x-1)^3 is similarly shifted 1 unit to the right of the graph of y = x^3.
