What is the end behavior in the function y=2x^3-x

Mathematics

sasho [114]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When a question asks for the "end behavior" of a function, they just want to know what happens if you trace the direction the function heads in for super low and super high values of x. In other words, they want to know what the graph is looking like as x heads for both positive and negative infinity. This might be sort of hard to visualize, so if you have a graphing utility, use it to double check yourself, but even without a graph, we can answer this question. For any function involving x^3, we know that the "parent graph" looks like the attached image. This is the "basic" look of any x^3 function; however, certain things can change the end behavior. You'll notice that in the attached graph, as x gets really really small, the function goes to negative infinity. As x gets very very big, the function goes to positive infinity.

Now, taking a look at your function, 2x^3 - x, things might change a little. Some things that change the end behavior of a graph include a negative coefficient for x^3, such as -x^3 or -5x^3. This would flip the graph over the y-axis, which would make the end behavior "swap", basically. Your function doesn't have a negative coefficient in front of x^3, so we're okay on that front, and it turns out your function has the same end behavior as the parent function, since no kind of reflection is occurring. I attached the graph of your function as well so you can see it, but what this means is that as x approaches infinity, or as x gets very big, your function also goes to infinity, and as x approaches negative infinity, or as x gets very small, your function goes to negative infinity.

Suppose that F(x) = x^2 and G(x) = 2x^2-5. Which statement best compares the graph G(x) with the graph of F(x)?
notsponge [240]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option  D. The graph <span>G(x) as compared to the graph of F(x) would be that the </span><span>graph of G(x) is the graph of F(x) stretched vertically and shifted 5 units down. 2 is a stretch factor and -5 is the shift downwards of the graph. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Average change in temperature is - 2.8 Fahrenheit per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average change in temperature is the change in temperature divided by the time taken for the change.

Change in temperature = (-11.2) F- 0 F

                                       = -11.2 F

Time taken for the change in temperature = 10 pm - 6 pm

                                                                       = 4 hours

Average change in temperature = Change in temperature / time taken for the change

                                                      = \frac{-11.2}{4}

                                                      = - 2.8 Fahrenheit per hour

Helppp meee pleasssseee!!!
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

19°

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation (triangles add up to 180 degrees)(Right angles are 90 degrees).

39 + 90 + 2x + 13 = 180

142 + 2x = 180

2x = 38

x = 19
