Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The zero (root) of a function is any value of the variable that will produce an answer of zero. Graphically, the real zero of a function is where the graph of the function crosses the x-axis.
~~~~~~~~~
f(x) = x³ + 3x² - x - 3
f(-3) = ( - 3 )³ + 3( - 3 )² - ( - 3 ) - 3 = 0
f(-1) = ( - 1 )³ + 3( - 1 )² - ( - 1 ) - 3 = 0
f(1) = ( 1 )² + 3( 1 )² - ( 1 ) - 3 = 0

Answer:
x = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The zeros of the function are the values of x that make the factors zero:
x = -4, x = 1
The axis of symmetry is the vertical line halfway between these zeros.
x = (-4 +1)/2 = -3/2
The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = -3/2.
So, here we have an exponential function.
Remember that an exponential function has the form:
Where a represents an initial amount, and r is the rate of this amount to change. (Increase, or decrease).
So, given that the population of City A in 2000 was 40 thousand people and the population increased by 13% each year, we can say that
So,
For city B:
But something different happens with city C. This is not an exponential function, this is a linear function.
So,
