Q. 34 - Precalculus Enhanced with Graphing Utilities

Question

In Problems 27– 40, use transformations of the graph of $y=x^4$ or $y=x^5$ to graph each function. Verify your results using a graphing utility.$f\left(x\right)=-x^4$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The graph of $f\left(x\right)=-x^4$ is obtained by reflexing the graph of $f\left(x\right)=x^4$ about x-axis.

Step 1. Given Information

The given function is $f\left(x\right)=-x^4$

Step 2. Draw the graph of f x = x 4

Step 3. Draw the graph of f x = - x 4

Reflect the graph of $f\left(x\right)=x^4$ about x-axis to obtain the graph
