How can I write a polynomial equation with the x-intercepts -3,1,3 with all odd multiplicities, and with a y-intercept of -1?

I think you're in the right direction. In order to have an intercept at x=1, your factor needs to be 0, ie., you need (x-1) not (x+1) like you wrote.

So the first attempt gives: f(x) = (x+3)(x-1)(x-3). That gives us the exact right x intercepts. Now what about the y intercept?

Right now it is at f(0) = (0+3)(0-1)(0-3) = +9, that's not good!

So lets multiply bij -1/9 and turn that 9 into a -1:

f(x) = -1/9(x+3)(x-1)(x-3)

Multiplication scales the graph, it doesn't shift it, so the x intercepts stay put. I think that's your answer.

Try pasting that formula in the brilliant Wolfram Alpha website, you'll be amazed!

What is the solution set to the inequality –3x + 5.9 ≥ –15.4 for x in the set {–10, –5, 0, 5, 10}?
Veronika [31]

–3x + 5.9 ≥ –15.4

subtract 5.9 from each side

-3x >= -21.3

divide by -3  which causes the inequality to flip

x <= 7.1

Nimfa-mama [501]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>a is greater than 1, so a−1 is positive.</em>

<em />

<em>The distance between a and 1 appears to be less than the distance between 1 and 0, so it looks like a is less than 2. Thus a−2 is negative.</em>

<em />

<em>b is negative, so −b is positive.</em>

<em />

<em>The distance between a and 0 appears to be less than the distance between b and 0, so it looks like |a| is less than |b|. Since b is negative and a is positive, a+b is negative.</em>

<em />

<em>a−b = a+−b. Since b is negative, −b is positive. a is also positive. Thus, a−b is positive.</em>

<em />

<em>Since |a| and |b| are both greater than 1, |ab| is also greater than 1 (this builds on the intuition students gained in fifth grade as in 5.NF.5). ab is negative since a is positive and b is negative. Thus, ab+1 is negative.</em>
