How does changing the signs of the coefficients affect the graph of a polynomial?
For a polynomial of order n there are n+1 coefficients that can be changed. There are therefore 2^(n+1) related polynomials with coefficients of the same absolute values. All these generate graphs whose shapes differ.If only the constant coefficient is switched, the graph does not change shape but moves vertically. If every coefficient is switched then the graph is reflected in the horizontal axis. For all other sign changes, there are intermediate changes in the shape of the graph.
How does the inverse operation affect solving an equation?
It affects because if you want to solve a multiplication problem you can use it or also to check your division problem
How does changing the slope of a linear function affect its graph?
It rotated the line about the point of intersection with the y-axis.
Do graph transformations affect domain and range?
Most transformations do affect one or both. Very few will not affect either.
What are the steps for writing the equation of a function from a graph?
1. Decide if the graph looks like any standard type of graph you've seen before. Is it a type of sine or cosine? A quadratic? A circle or ellipse? A line? An exponential? (You get the idea.) If you can't find a standard type to match your desired graph, pick one that looks close to it and recognize that you will be doing an approximation to your function.2. Once you have an idea of what you're graph should be like, think about the equations that are used to describe that graph. Where do the numbers go and how do they affect how the graph looks/moves/ behaves? Some functions, such as circles, hyperbolas, and quadratics, have standard equations with variables based on the important features of the graph (such as the center, maximums or minimums).3. Find the important and/or interesting parts of the graph and use them in the equation. As stated before, ellipses and such have special equations to describe them. Sines and cosines require the amplitude, frequency, and phase shift.4. Check your equation if you can. It's always good to plug a few of the points that are in your graph to make sure your equation is accurate. It's especially good to try out points you did NOT use to find your equation. If it works for these, then you probably did it right.

What is the effect on coefficient of static friction when side length of a cube of 5 cm is doubled to original?
The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.
How does the presence of a coefficient affect the number of atoms of each type in the formula that the coefficient precedes?
it tells you what charge the element will be
How does the time period or number of variables effect correlation coefficient?
The time period may not affect the correlation coefficient at all. If looking at the correlation between the mass and volume of steel objects, time is totally irrelevant. The effect of the number of variables depends on whether or not the extra variables are related to ANY of the variables in the equation.
How does grease or oil affect the coefficient of friction?
