Question 19 • Algebra 2 with Probability

Which statement describes the function y is equal to A x to the n th power when A is equal to 1 and n is odd?

Answer
A
The graph does not pass through the origin.
B
The graph is symmetric about the origin.
C
The graph has more than one x -intercept.
D
The graph opens down.

Explanation

With A = 1, the function is y = xⁿ. When n is odd, replacing x with −x gives (−x)ⁿ = −xⁿ, so the graph has origin symmetry. It also passes through the origin, so A is false; it has only one x-intercept, and it does not necessarily open down.
