Answer:
y = -2x^2(x - 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>Preliminary Remark</u></em>
If a cubic is tangent to the x axis at 0,0
Then the equation must be related to y = a*x^2(x - h)
<em><u>(3,0)</u></em>
If the cubic goes through the point (3,0), then the equation will become
0 = a*3^2(3 - h)
0 = 9a (3 - h)
0 = 27a - 9ah
from which h = 3
<em><u>From the second point, we get</u></em>
4 = ax^2(x - 3)
4 = a(1)^2(1 - 3)
4 = a(-2)
a = 4 / - 2
a = -2
<em><u>Answer</u></em>
y = -2x^2(x - 3)
How do you evaluate: To evaluate an algebraic expression, you have to substitute a number for each variable and perform the arithmetic operations. In the example above, the variable x is equal to 6 since 6 + 6 = 12. If we know the value of our variables, we can replace the variables with their values and then evaluate the expression.
