Answer: a) zeros: x = {0, 4, -2}
b) as x → ∞, y → ∞
as x → -∞, y → ∞
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
I think you mean (a) find the zeros and (b) describe the end behavior
(a) Find the zeros by setting each factor equal to zero and solving for x:
x (x - 4) (x + 2)⁴ = 0
- x = 0 Multiplicity of 1 --> odd multiplicity so it crosses the x-axis
- x = 4 Multiplicity of 1 --> odd multiplicity so it crosses the x-axis
- x = -2 <u>Multiplicity of 4 </u> --> even multiplicity so it touches the x-axis
Degree = 6
(b) End behavior is determined by the following two criteria:
- Sign of Leading Coefficient (Right side): Positive is ↑, Negative is ↓
- Degree (Left side): Even is same direction as right side, Odd is opposite direction of right side
Sign of the leading coefficient is Positive so right side goes UP
as x → ∞, y → ∞
Degree of 6 is Even so Left side is the same direction as right (UP)
as x → -∞, y → ∞
Answer:
B. 1 and D. 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure below shows the graphs of f(x) = 3x - 1 (red) and g(x) = 2^x (blue).
The solutions of 3x - 1 = 2^x are the points at which the two curves intersect.
The solutions are at x = 1 and x = 3.
Check:
3 × 1 - 1 = 2¹ 3 × 3 -1 = 2³
3 - 1 = 2 9 - 1 = 8
2 = 2 8 = 8
Answer:
503
Step-by-step explanation:
For an arithmetic sequence, the n-th term is found by

To find
(the common difference) we can simply subtract one of the terms by the last, for example:

The common difference must be the same throughout the entire sequence, so we can do it once more just to be sure:

We also have to know that
stands for the first term of the sequence, which in this case is 311.
Now that we know this, let's find the 32nd term

Good luck!
