The function is f(x)=x^3-11x^2+36x-36.

To find the x-intercepts, we need to factorize the function. A very good idea is to first try the factors of 36:

f(1)=1-11+36-36, not 0

f(2)=8-44+72-36=-36+72-36=0. Here we have our first root (2).

Now we cad divide f(x) by (x-2) which will give us a quadratic expression, which we can factorize easily (if the discriminant is non negative).

We can also try some other factors of 36. Indeed we can check that 

f(3)=27-99+108-36=135-135=0, 
and
f(6)=216-396+216-36=0.

Thus, f(x)=(x-2)(x-3)(x-6). Note that if we expanded the right hand side expression, the constant term would be the product of the constants 2, 3, 6.

This is the reason why in the first place we looked at the factors of 36 for the possible zeros of f(x).


Thus, the x-intercepts are (2, 0), (3, 0), (6, 0), or 2, 3, 6. 

The y-intercept is f(0), which is -36.


Note that f(0)<f(2) because f(0)=-36 and f(2)=0. This means that at the left side, the graph is coming from - infinity. Similarly, 

we can check that f(10)=1000-1100+360-36=224> f(6). That is, to the right of our rightmost root, the graph is getting larger.

Thus, the end behaviors are: the graph goes to + infinity as x goes to + infinity, 

and it goes to minus infinity as x goes to - infinity.

zhannawk [14.2K]
Tammy's recipe makes a sweeter fruit punch. This is because 3/4 (Kim's recipe) equals 18/24 (Tammy's recipe) and 5/6 equals 20/24 and since 20/24 is the bigger ratio, Tammy's recipe will make a sweeter fruit punch. I hope this helps. (:

Find the value of <br> (16/81)^3/4
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

1.92636657×10^-3

Step-by-step explanation:

This question looks quite awful coz it might be (16+81)^3/4 rather than being (16/81)^3/4....But, if it is (16/81)^3/4 the answer is 1.92636657×10^-3

hope you find it helpful....Thanks very much...

Write an equation in standard form that is parallel to the line y = 2x - 1 that passes through the point (1, 2). 2x - y = 0 O x
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

2x - y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 2x - 1 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (1, 2) into the partial equation

2 = 2 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 2 = 0

y = 2x ← equation in slope- intercept form

Subtract y from both sides

0 = 2x - y , that is

2x - y = 0 ← equation in standard form
