W(x)=x^3 - 5x^2 + 8x - 4 I need the x and y intercepts and the behavior of this equation.

1 answer:

4 0

X intercept is where the line crosses the x axis or where y=0
y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis or where x=0

the equation is 3rd degree and the leading coefient is positive so it goes from bottom left to top right, with 2 changes in direction (up to down or down to up)

x intercepts
W(x)=0=x^3-5x^2+8x-4
um, I graphed it and the x intercepts are at x=1 and x=2

y intercept is where x=0
W(0)=0^3-5(0)+8(0)-4=-4
the y intercept is y=-4

The height H of an ball that is thrown straight upward from an initial position 3 feet off the ground with initial velocity of 9

mariarad [96]

Answer:

The ball will be 84 feet above the ground 1.125 seconds and 4.5 seconds after launch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement is incorrect. Correct form is presented below:

The height $h(t)$ of an ball that is thrown straight upward from an initial position 3 feet off the ground with initial velocity of 90 feet per second is given by equation $h(t) = 3 +90\cdot t -16\cdot t^{2}$ , where $t$ is time in seconds. After how many seconds will the ball be 84 feet above the ground.

We equalize the kinematic formula to 84 feet and solve the resulting second-order polynomial by Quadratic Formula to determine the instants associated with such height:

$3+90\cdot t -16\cdot t^{2} = 84$
