In the past, you’ve seen linear and quadratic equations and their graphs. A linear equation is a polynomial of order 1, which means that the greatest exponent for a variable is 1. A quadratic equation is a polynomial of order 2. In what types of situations could you make use of polynomials of order 3 or higher? How would the graphs of these polynomials change? How would they change if there was a variable in a denominator of an equation? What if the variable was part of an exponent?

What is the pattern in the values as the exponents increase?

20+ ! come and answer quick! triangle mno is reflected over the x-axis and then translated up 4 and right 3. how can the transformation be amended such that the translation can occur before the reflection and have the image remain in the same position? a translate the pre-image down 4 and right 3 and then reflect the figure over the x-axis. b translate the pre-image up 3 and right 4 and then reflect the figure over the x-axis. c translate the pre-image up 4 and left 3 and then reflect the figure over the y-axis. d translate the pre-image down 3 and right 4 and then reflect the figure over the x-axis.
