Graphing polynomial functions?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leni [432]3 years ago
5 0

NOTES:

Degree: the largest exponent in the polynomial

End Behavior:

  • Coefficient is POSITIVE, then right side goes to POSITIVE infinity
  • Coefficient is NEGATIVE, then right side goes to NEGATIVE infinity
  • Degree is EVEN, then left side is SAME direction as right side
  • Degree is ODD, then left side is OPPOSITE direction as right side

Multiplicity (M): the exponent of the zero. <em>e.g. (x - 3)²  has a multiplicity of 2</em>

Relative max/min: the y-value of the vertices.  

  1. Find the axis of symmetry <em>(the midpoint of two neighboring zeros)</em>
  2. Plug the x-value from 1 (above) into the given equation to find the y-value. <em>(which is the max/min)</em>
  3. Repeat 1 and 2 (above) for each pair of neighboring zeros.

Rate of Change: slope between the two given points.

********************************************************************************************

1. f(x) = (x-1)²(x + 6)

a) Degree = 3

b) end behavior:

  • Coefficient is positive so right side goes to positive infinity
  • Degree is odd so left side goes to negative infinity

c) (x - 1)²(x + 6) = 0

   x - 1 = 0                     x + 6 = 0

       x = 1 (M=2)                   x = -6 (M=1)

d) The midpoint between 1 and -6 is -3.5, so axis of symmetry is at x = -3.5

y = (-3.5 - 1)²(-3.5 + 6)

  =  (-4.5)²(2.5)

  = 50.625

50.625 is the relative max

e) see attachment #1

f) The interval at which the graph increases is: (-∞, -3.5)U(1, ∞)

g) The interval at which the graph decreases is: (-3.5, 1)

h) f(-1) = (-1 - 1)²(-1 + 6)

          = (-2)²(5)

          = 20

    f(0) = (0 - 1)²(0 + 6)

          = (-1)²(6)

          = 6

Find the slope between (-1, 20) and (0, 6)

m = \frac{20-6}{-1-0}

   = \frac{14}{-1}

   = -14

********************************************************************************************

2.    y = x³+3x²-10x

         = x(x² + 3x - 10)      

         = x(x + 5)(x - 2)

a) Degree = 3

b) end behavior:

   Coefficient is positive so right side goes to positive infinity

   Degree is odd so left side goes to negative infinity

c) x(x + 5)(x - 2) = 0

   x = 0                     x + 5 = 0                     x - 2 = 0

   x = 0 (M=1)                   x = -5 (M=1)                x = 2 (M=1)

d) The midpoint between -5 and 0 is -2.5, so axis of symmetry is at x = -2.5

y = -2.5(-2.5 + 5)(-2.5 - 2)

  =  -2.5(2.5)(-4.5)

  = 28.125

28.125 is the relative max

The midpoint between 0 and 2 is 1, so axis of symmetry is at x = 1

y = 1(1 + 5)(1 - 2)

  =  1(6)(-1)

  = -6

-6 is the relative min

e) see attachment #2

f) The interval at which the graph increases is: (-∞, -2.5)U(1, ∞)

g) The interval at which the graph decreases is: (-2.5, 1)

h) f(-1) = -1(-1 + 5)(-1 - 2)

********************************************************************************************

3. y = -x(x + 2)(x - 7)(x - 3)

a) Degree = 4

b) end behavior:

   Coefficient is negative so right side goes to negative infinity

   Degree is even so left side goes to negative infinity

c)  -x(x + 2)(x - 7)(x - 3) = 0

  -x = 0                     x + 2 = 0                     x - 7 = 0             x - 3 = 0

   x = 0 (M=1)                 x = -2 (M=1)                x = 7 (M=1)          x = 3 (M=1)

d) The midpoint between -2 and 0 is -1, so axis of symmetry is at x = -1

y = -(-1)(-1 + 2)(-1 - 7)(-1 - 3)

  =  1(1)(-8)(-4)

  = 32

32 is a relative max

The midpoint between 0 and 3 is 1.5, so axis of symmetry is at x = 1.5

y = -(1.5)(1.5 + 2)(1.5 - 7)(1.5 - 3)

  =  -1.5(3.5)(-5.5)(-1.5)

  = -43.3125

-43.3125 is the relative min

The midpoint between 3 and 7 is 5, so axis of symmetry is at x = 5

y = -(5)(5 + 2)(5 - 7)(5 - 3)

  =  -5(7)(-2)(2)

  = 140

140 is the relative max

e) see attachment #3

f) The interval at which the graph increases is: (-∞, -1)U(1.5, 5)

g) The interval at which the graph decreases is: (-1, 1.5)U(5, ∞)

h) f(-1) = -(-1)(-1 + 2)(-1 - 7)(-1 - 3)

          = 1(1)(-8)(-4)

          = 32

    f(0) = -(0)(0 + 2)(0 - 7)(0 - 3)

          = 0

Find the slope between (-1, 32) and (0, 0)

m = \frac{32-0}{-1-0}

   = \frac{32}{-1}

   = -32

What are the x-intercepts for the function ƒ(x) = -x(x − 4)?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=-x(x-4)

f(x)=-x²+4x

-x²+4x=0

x(-x+4)=0

x=0, x=4

(2)

4x²-x-3=0

(4x²+3x)-(4x-3)=0

x(4x+3)-1(4x+3)=0

x=1, x=-3/4
