Use the zeroes to determine the roots.


Write the polynomial as a product of the leading coefficient, a, and the factors, where each factor is x minus a root.


Use the y-intercept (0, –5) to solve for the leading coefficient.


Substitute the leading coefficient into the polynomial function for a and simplify.

1. "the graph has the same zeros" : so let a be the "triple" root of the cubic polynomial function.

2. So f(x)=(x-a)^{3}

3. Don't forget that the expression might have a coefficient b as well, and still maintain the conditions: 
 
f(x)=b(x-a)^{3}

4. Now, f(0)=-5 so  -5=f(0)=b(0-a)^{3}=b(-a) ^{3}=-ba ^{3}

-5=-ba ^{3}

5=ba ^{3}

b= \frac{5}{ a^{3} }

5. the function is f(x)=\frac{5}{ a^{3} }(x-a)^{3} where a can be any real number except 0

The graph of an exponential function passes through (1, 10) and (4, 80). Find the function that describes the graph.
svetlana [45]

Answer:

  • y = 5*2ˣ

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential function:</u>

  • y = abˣ

<u>Ordered pairs given:</u>

  • (1, 10) and (4, 80)

<u>Substitute x and y values to get below system:</u>

  • 10 = ab
  • 80 = ab⁴

<u>Divide the second equation by the first one and solve for b:</u>

  • 80/10 = b³
  • b³ = 8
  • b = ∛8
  • b = 2

<u>Use the first equation and find the value of a:</u>

  • 10 = a*2
  • a = 5

<u>The function is:</u>

  • y = 5*2ˣ

Consider the quadratic equation 3x^2-6=2x. (a) What is the value of the discriminant? (b) What does the discriminant of the quad
aleksley [76]

Answer:

(a) discriminant is positive, 76

(b) the above tells you there are two real roots

Step-by-step explanation:

the discriminant is 'b² - 4ac'

3x² - 2x - 6 = 0  ∴ a = 3, b = -2, c = -6

(-2)² - 4(3)(-6) = 4 + 72
