Answer:

  • zeros are {-2, 3, 7} as verified by graphing
  • end behavior: f(x) tends toward infinity with the same sign as x

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator makes finding or verifying the zeros of a polynomial function as simple as typing the function into the input box.

<h3>Zeros</h3>

The attachment shows the function zeros to be x ∈ {-2, 3, 7}, as required.

<h3>End behavior</h3>

The leading coefficient of this odd-degree polynomial is positive, so the value of f(x) tends toward infinity of the same sign as x when the magnitude of x tends toward infinity.

  • x → -∞; f(x) → -∞
  • x → ∞; f(x) → ∞

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The function is entered in the graphing calculator input box in "Horner form," which is also a convenient form for hand-evaluation of the function.

We know the x^2 coefficient is the opposite of the sum of the zeros:

  -(7 +(-2) +3) = -8 . . . . x^2 coefficient

And we know the constant is the opposite of the product of the zeros:

  -(7)(-2)(3) = 42 . . . . . constant

These checks lend further confidence that the zeros are those given.

(The constant is the opposite of the product of zeros only for odd-degree polynomials. For even-degree polynomials. the constant is the product of zeros.)

The variable Z is directly proportional to X. When X is 10, Z has the value 190.
irina [24]
Since z is proportion to the x
z = a x
190 = a 10
a = 19

when x = 13
z = a x
z = 19 * 13
z = 247
