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.

DerKrebs [107]
She has 1/2 cup left. 3/4 + 3/8 equals 1 1/8 subtract that by 5/8 and you have 1/2

Expansion Numerically Impractical. Show that the computation of an nth-order determinant by expansion involves multiplications,
posledela

Answer:

  • number of multiplies is n!
  • n=10, 3.6 ms
  • n=15, 21.8 min
  • n=20, 77.09 yr
  • n=25, 4.9×10^8 yr

Step-by-step explanation:

Expansion of a 2×2 determinant requires 2 multiplications. Expansion of an n×n determinant multiplies each of the n elements of a row or column by its (n-1)×(n-1) cofactor determinant. Then the number of multiplies is ...

  mpy[n] = n·mp[n-1]

  mpy[2] = 2

So, ...

  mpy[n] = n! . . . n ≥ 2

__

If each multiplication takes 1 nanosecond, then a 10×10 matrix requires ...

  10! × 10^-9 s ≈ 0.0036288 s ≈ 0.004 s . . . for 10×10

Then the larger matrices take ...

  n=15, 15! × 10^-9 ≈ 1307.67 s ≈ 21.8 min

  n=20, 20! × 10^-9 ≈ 2.4329×10^9 s ≈ 77.09 years

  n=25, 25! × 10^-9 ≈ 1.55112×10^16 s ≈ 4.915×10^8 years

_____

For the shorter time periods (less than 100 years), we use 365.25 days per year.

For the longer time periods (more than 400 years), we use 365.2425 days per year.
