Given the function f(x) = 8x3 − 3x2 − 5x 8, what part of the function indicates that the left and right ends point in opposite d
2 answers:
Answer: The degree of the first term.
Explanation:
The function:
The left and right ends would be indicated when x is changed to -x. When this is substituted, the change is indicated by the first term because only the degree of first term is odd.
Let the left hand side be donated by -x.
Then,
Hence, the correct option is the degree of the first term indicates the left and right end points of the function.

Answer:
Constant speed: yes
Constant velocity: no
Explanation:
Let's remind the definition of speed and velocity:
- Speed is a scalar quantity, which is equal to the ratio between the distance covered (regardless of the direction) and the time taken:
- Velocity is a vector quantity, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. The magnitude is equal to the rate between the displacement of the object and the time taken, while the direction is the same as the displacement.
In this problem, we notice that:
- The speed of the car remains constant, as it is 90 km/h
- However, its direction of motion changes while the car travels round the corner: this means that the direction of the velocity is also changing, therefore velocity is not constant.
