Question 983630: Ok so.. I have to graph the function g(x)=-2x^-5
I have no idea how to start since I do not know where the g(x) came from. Do I do a table just the same as I would for x & y? I know how to graph it's just getting the plot points TO graph! If possible please give me step by step! You'd be helping me greatly! Thank you so much for your time/efforts!-MB

graph the function g(x)=-2x^-5
I have no idea how to start since I do not know where the g(x) came from.
-------------------
You can do it the same as y = -2x^-5
Label the horizontal axis x, and the vertical g(x)
-----
Pick values for x, find g(x), plot the points.
Draw a curve thru them.
====================
You can use Excel (or other methods) to make a table of points.

represents a function. )
means "the value of the function when the value of the independent variable is 
". When you want to graph a function, such as this particular function, , on an 
plane, then it is correct to say: )
.
For this problem, just graph 
. You should get something that looks like:

It might help when you are graphing this to recall that 
, so you are actually graphing \ =\ \frac{-2}{x^5})
and this is why your graph is discontinuous at
