The document discusses graphs of the form y = x^n where n is an integer greater than 1. It notes that the graphs can first be sketched by noticing that all points where the curve cuts the x-axis are stationary points, and the curve has the same sign as the given value of n for any x. The graphs are also affected by whether n is odd or even.

This document is Xcel Energy's 2001 annual report. It summarizes the company's financial performance for 2001 and highlights some of its key accomplishments that year. Specifically:
- Xcel Energy met its earnings target for 2001 despite challenges in the energy industry like price swings, regulatory changes, and a softening economy. Its non-regulated subsidiary, NRG Energy, contributed significantly.
- The company delivered $1.50 in dividends per share, expanded its customer base, successfully traded electricity in deregulated markets, and improved reliability.
- Xcel Energy also completed repowering its Fort St. Vrain nuclear plant with natural gas, expanded its wind generation portfolio, and received recognition for its Wind

The document presents results from an experimental study on the effects of elevated temperature and aggressive chemical environments on the compressive strength of M30 grade concrete. Concrete cubes were tested at temperatures from 200¡ãC to 1000¡ãC and exposed to sodium sulfate, sulfuric acid, and sodium chloride solutions for 30 and 60 days. Testing showed that compressive strength decreased with increasing temperature and exposure time, with rapid decreases above 400¡ãC. Sulfuric acid exposure led to gypsum crystal deposition on cube surfaces.
