F(x) = 7x − 13
To find f(-x) , just replace x with -x:

f(-x) = 7(-x) - 13

f(-x) = -7x -13

ANSWER TO QUESTION 1

$f(x)=(x-2)(x+3)(x-1)^2$ .

EXPLANATION

The function given to us is,

$f(x)=x^4-x^3-7x^2+13x-6$

According to rational roots theorem,

$\pm1,\pm2,\pm3,\pm6$ are possible rational zeros of

$f(x)=x^4-x^3-7x^2+13x-6$ .

We find out that,

$f(-3)=(-3)^4-(-3)^3-7(-3)^2+13(-3)-6$

$f(-3)=81+27-63-39-6$

$f(-3)=6-6$

$f(-3)=0$

Also

$f(2)=(2)^4-(2)^3-7(2)^2+13(2)-6$

$f(2)=16-8-28+26-6$

$f(2)=6-6$

$f(2)=0$

This implies that

$x-2 and x+3$ are factors of

$f(x)=x^4-x^3-7x^2+13x-6$ and hence $(x-2)(x+3)=x^2+x-6$ is also a factor.

We perform the long division as shown in the diagram.

Hence,

$f(x)=(x-2)(x+3)(x-1)^2$ .

ANSWER TO QUESTION 2

Sketching the graph

We can see from the factorization that the roots

$x=2$ and $x=-3$ have a multiplicity of 1, which is odd. This means that the graph crosses the x-axis at this intercepts.

Also the root $x=1$ has a multiplicity of 2, which is even. This means the graph does not cross the x-axis at this intercept.

Now we determine the position of the graph on the following intervals,

$x\le -3$

$f(-4)=(-4)^4-(-4)^3-7(-4)^2+13(-4)-6$

$f(-4)=150\:>0$

$-3\le x \le 1$

$f(0)=-6\:$

$1\le x\le 2$

$f(1.5)=-0.56\:$

$x \ge 2$

$f(3)=24\:>0$

We can now use these information to sketch the function as shown in diagram

Answer:

9800 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is just the length of one of the sides squared. In the first image it's given that one of the sides is 70 cm and the shape is also a square pyramid so the base is going to be a square. So the area the base is (70 cm) ^ 2 = 4,900 cm^2. The area of a triangle is 1/2 bh. The base is given in the first image which is 70 cm and the height is also given which is 140 cm. This gives you the equation 0.5 * 140 cm * 70 cm = 4900 cm^2. Adding these two values gives you 9800 cm^2
