Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Identify the family of curves represented by the equation y = mx^3 + c.
  • Step 1: Understand the equation y = mx^3 + c.
  • Step 2: Identify the variables in the equation: m is the coefficient of x^3 and c is the constant term.
  • Step 3: Recognize that m can change, which affects the steepness and direction of the curve.
  • Step 4: Recognize that c can also change, which shifts the curve up or down on the graph.
  • Step 5: Conclude that by varying m and c, you create different curves, forming a family of cubic functions.
  • Cubic Functions – The equation represents cubic functions where 'm' is the coefficient of the x^3 term and 'c' is the y-intercept.
  • Family of Curves – The varying values of 'm' and 'c' create a family of curves, each representing a different cubic function.
