Match each equation with its graph. Explain your choices. (Do not use a computer or graphing calculator.)

3.
Since the graph of the function f is symmetric about the origin and y = x 5 is the only equation in the list that describes an odd function, the graph of the function f represents the equation y = x 5 . Since the graph of g is flatter near zero than the graph of h , the graph of g represents the equation y = x 8 , and therefore, the equation y = x 2 is described visually by the graph of h .

(a)
y = 3 x is a linear function, therefore the function G describes it visually.
(b)
y = 3 x is an exponential function. Therefore, the graph of f describes y = 3 x visually.
(c)
y = x 3 is an odd power function. Therefore, the graph of F represents the function y = x 3 .
(d)
y = x 3 is a root function. The graph of the function G is a root function graph.
