Do you agree with the statement that " cubic functions must have at least 1 x-intercept but not more than 3, whereas quadratic f

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Yes, I agree

Step-by-step explanation:

For the cubic function

A cubic function is represented as:

$f(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d$

A cubic function may have 1, 2 or 3 x intercepts. This is shown below

For 3 x intercepts

$y = x^3 - x$

Equate y to 0

$x^3 - x = 0$

Expand

$x(x^2 - 1) = 0$

Express $x^2 - 1$ as difference of two squares

$x(x - 1)(x +1 ) = 0$

<em>x = 0 or 1 or -1</em>

For 2 x intercepts

$y = x^3 - x$

$y =(x-5)^2)(x+7)$

Equate y to 0

$(x-5)^2(x+7) = 0$

Expand

$(x-5)(x-5)(x+7) = 0$

<em>x= 5 or x = -7</em>

For 1 x intercept

$y = x^3$

Equate y to 0

$x^3 = 0$

Take cube roots of both sides

$x = 0$

It has been shown above that a cubic function may have 1, 2 or 3.

So, I agree to the statement

For the quadratic function

A quadratic function will not have any x intercept when the function can not be factorized;

E.g.

$y = x^2 + x + 17$

<em>The above function has no x intercept.</em>

A quadratic function will have at least 1 x intercept when the function can be factorized;

E.g.

$y = x^2- 6x + 9$

Equate y to 0

$x^2- 6x + 9 = 0$

Expand

$x^2 - 3x - 3x + 9 = 0$

$(x - 3)(x-3) = 0$

$x = 3$

We've shown that a quadratic may have no x intercept, and it may also have x intercept(s)

Hence, I agree to both statement

Katie wants to buy some popcorn for her family at the theater. Each small tub of popcorn costs $3 and each large tub of popcorn

Molodets [167]

For this case we propose a system of equations:

x: Represents the amount of small popcorn tubs

y: Represents the amount of large popcorn tubs

According to the data we have to:

$3x + 4y = 24$ (Spending all the money in your wallet)

$x + y = 7$ (Buying 7 popcorn tubs)

From the second equation we have:

$x = 7-y$

Substituting in the first equation:

$3 (7-y) + 4y = 24\\21-3y + 4y = 24\\21 + y = 24\\y = 24-21\\y = 3$

Thus, Katie can buy 3 large tubs of popcorn.

So:

$x = 7-3\\x = 4$

In addition, you can buy 4 small tubs of popcorn.

Answer:

3 large popcorn tubs.

4 small popcorn tubs.
