What is the graph of the polynomial function

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nitella [24]3 years ago
5 0
The roots of f(x) are {0, 3, -4}.  You've got them as {-3, 4}, which is not correct.

Draw another set of coordinate axes and place dark dots at (0,0), (3,0) and (-4,0).  These dots represent the roots (solutions) of the given polynomial.
Note that we have a repeated (double) root at x=3, which is given away by the exponent 2 of (x-3).

A basic way of sketching this graph is described as follows:

Evaluate the function (find y) for several x-values other than (0, 3 and -4):
Choose (for example) {-5, -2, -1, 1, 2, 4}

If you'll find the y-value for each of these x-values and plot the resulting points, you should see the shape of the graph.  Draw a rough graph thru these points.  If any doubt remains about what the graph looks like at particular x-values, calculate and plot more points, e. g., at {-2.5, -1.5, ...}.

If you're taking calculus, consider applying the First- and Second-Derivative tests to determine concavity, maximum, minimum, etc.

A weather forecast predicts that the temperature in antarctica will decrease 8 degrees fahrenheit each hour for the next 6 hours
Bogdan [553]
Given:
m = -8 degrees/hour, the rate of change of temperature

Let x =  hours 
Let y = temperature, °F
Then y = -8x + b
where b = constant

When x = 0, then y = b.
Therefore b = initial temperature

If the temperature drops by at least 36 °F in the next x hours, then
b - y(6) ≥ 36
b - (-8x + b) ≥ 36
8x ≥ 36
x ≥ 4.5 hours

Answer:  At least 4.5 hours
