Question 667924: on the graph it shows the equation y^4=x
(a)at how many points does x=4
(b) at how many points does x=-4
You do not have to find the value of these points,just tell how many there are

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
on the graph it shows the equation y^4=x
Comment: Notice that x is a number raised to an even power;
so x is never negative.
--------------------------
(a)at how many points does x=4
If x = 4, y = 4^(1/4) which can be both positive and negative.
ANS: 2
-------------------
(b) at how many points does x=-4
x Cannot be negative
Ans: 0
