Answer:
f(-10) = 1,100
Step-by-step explanation:
f(-10) = (-10)^2 - (-10)^3
= 100 - (-1000)
= 1,100
Answer:
1. decreases
2. 31.50
Step-by-step explanation:
It decreases because there's a negative sign.
It's 31.50 because 10.50 * 3 = 31.50
Answer:
b.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to look at sign changes in f(x) to determine the possible positive real roots.

There is only one sign change here, between the -8x and the +4. So that means there is only 1 possible real positive root.
Now we have to look at sign changes in f(-x) to determine the possible negative real roots.

There are 3 sign changes here. That means there are either 3 negative roots or 3-2 = 1 negative root. So we have:
1 positive
3 or 1 negative
We need to pair them up now with all the possible combinations.
If we have 1 positive and 1 negative, we have to have 2 imaginary
If we have 1 positive and 3 negative, we have to have 0 imaginary
Keep in mind that the total number or roots--positive, negative, imaginary--have to add up to equal the degree of the polynomial. This is a 4th degree polynomial, so we will have 4 roots.
