Use the table to determine the degree of the power function. What is the degree of the power function.

The degree of the power function is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the power function be f(x) = b × xᵃ

Therefore, from the table, we have;

40 = b × (-2)ᵃ

5 =  b × (-1)ᵃ

0 = b × 0ᵃ

-5 = b × (1)ᵃ

-40 = b × (2)ᵃ

From -5 = b × (1)ᵃ, we have;

1ᵃ = 1, which gives;

-5 = b × 1

b = -5

From -40 = b × (2)ᵃ, where b = -5, we have;

-40 = -5 × (2)ᵃ

(2)ᵃ = -40/(-5) = 8

(2)ᵃ = 8 = (2)³

∴ a = 3

㏑(2)ᵃ = ㏑(8)

a·㏑(2) = ㏑(8)

a = ㏑(8)/(㏑(2)) = 3

a = 3

The power function is f(x) = -5 × x³

∴ The degree of the power function is 3.

hey! so 1 (25) out of 4 (100) is 25 so your answer is 25%. it's like quarters!
