HELP PLS Given a polynomial function f(x), describe the effects on the Y-intercept, regions where the graph is increasing and de

creasing, and the end behavoir when the following changes are made. Make sure to account for even and odd functions.

1. Remarks:

f(x) to f(x)-3 is the whole graph of f(x), shifted 3 units down. 

f(x) to -2f(x): 

The effect of "multiplication by -" is that the whole graph is reflected with respect to the x axis, so it is turned upside down.
 
The effect of "multiplication by 2" is that every point is "stretched vertically by a factor of 2" . So for example the point (-1, -4) in the original function, becomes (-1, -8) in the second one. Or (2, 5) would become (2, 10). 

The only points that do not change (are not streched vertically) are the roots. For example if (4,0) is an x-intercept (a root) in the original function, (4,0) is still a root in the second one because  2 times 0 is still 0.


2. Consider the polynomial function of degree n: 

f(x)= a_{n} x^{n} +a_{n-1} x^{n-1}+....+a_{2} x^{2}+a_{1} x^{1}+a_{0}

a. Y-intercept

The y - intercept is the value of the polynomial function at x=0. 
So it is f(0)=a_{0}, that is, the constant term of f(x)

in f(x)-3 the y intercept is shifted 3 units down as any other point, so it becomes  a_{0}-3

In -2f(x), the y-intercept a_{0} becomes -2a_{0}

b. Regions of f decreasing or increasing

f(x)-3 is f(x) just shifted down 3 units, so they are both increasing and decreasing in the same intervals of x

-2f(x) is f(x) turned upside down, so -2f(x) is increasing in all intervals f(x) is decreasing and it is decreasing in all intervals f(x) is increasing.

c. End behaviors

By now it is clear that end behaviors of f(x) and f(x)-3 are same, and f(x) with -2f(x) are opposite

d. Evenness, oddness

If f(x) is even, then f(x)=f(-x)

Let g(x)=f(x)-3

g(x)=f(x)-3=f(-x)-3=g(-3), so in this case f(x)-3 is even

If f(x) is odd, then f(-x)=-f(x)

g(x)=f(x)-3=-f(-x)-3,

so -g(x)=f(-x)+3

g(-x)=f(-x)-3,  

so g(-x) is not equal to -g(x). Which means f(x)-3 is not odd if f(x) is


Consider f(x)=-2f(x)

If f(x) is even, f(x)=f(-x)

g(x)=-2f(x)=-2f(-x)
g(-x)=-2f(-x)

So g(x)=g(-x), which means -2f(x) is even if f(x) is even

If f(x) is odd, f(x)=-f(-x)

let g(x)=-2f(x)=-2(-f(-x))=2f(-x)

g(-x)=-2f(-x)=-2(-f(x))=2f(x)

so g(-x) is not equal to -g(x), thus -2f(x) is not odd if f(x) is odd.

The conclusions about oddness and evenness can be also derived from the discussions about the graphs.

When a fair coin is flipped, what is the chance of getting about 50% heads- specifically between 40% and 60% heads for n=10 flip

At at least one die come up a 3?We can do this two ways:) The straightforward way is as follows. To get at least one 3, would be consistent with the following three mutually exclusive outcomes:the 1st die is a 3 and the 2nd is not: prob = (1/6)x(5/6)=5/36the 1st die is not a 3 and the 2nd is: prob = (5/6)x((1/6)=5/36both the 1st and 2nd come up 3: prob = (1/6)x(1/6)=1/36sum of the above three cases is prob for at least one 3, p = 11/36ii) A faster way is as follows: prob at least one 3 = 1 - (prob no 3's)The probability to get no 3's is (5/6)x(5/6) = 25/36.So the probability to get at least one 3 is, p = 1 - (25/36) = 11/362) What is the probability that a card drawn at random from an ordinary 52 deck of playing cards is a queen or a heart?There are 4 queens and 13 hearts, so the probability to draw a queen is4/52 and the probability to draw a heart is 13/52. But the probability to draw a queen or a heart is NOT the sum 4/52 + 13/52. This is because drawing a queen and drawing a heart are not mutually exclusive outcomes - the queen of hearts can meet both criteria! The number of cards which meet the criteria of being either a queen or a heart is only 16 - the 4 queens and the 12 remaining hearts which are not a queen. So the probability to draw a queen or a heart is 16/52 = 4/13.3) Five coins are tossed. What is the probability that the number of heads exceeds the number of tails?We can divide

Evaluate the expression when x = 12 and y = 2 x/3y
professor190 [17]
If you plug in 12 for x.
Your expression is y= 2(12)/3y
then you just solve for Y
