Examine the power functions y=ax^2 and y=ax^4, Which of the following statements are true about the functions?

I. Domains are all real numbers

II.The graphs are symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

III. There is only one real zero at (0,0)

IV If a<0, then y approaches -∞ and if a>0, then y approaches +∞

That last choice is also TRUE. If the statement was in regard to x-values when a>0 then it is the case that both functions would approach + infinity. I was getting ready to answer this question--check it out: desmos.com/calculator/d6rkvralky Use the Toggle link to toggle between ax^2 and ax^4. Use the sliders to change the value of "a" (and also x_1).
