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.

I WILL GIVE 20 POINTS TO THOSE WHO ANSWER THIS QUESTION RIGHT NOOOO SCAMS PLEASE AND PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THAT IS THE ANSWER
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

1 - 60

2 - 120

3 - 60

4 - 120

5 - 60

6 - 120

7 - 60

8 - 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Via supplementary angles, you can conclude that angle 5 is 60. Because of vertical angles, angle 8 is 120 and angle 7 is 60. Because of alternate exterior angles, angle 1 is congruent to angle 7 and angle 2 is congruent to angle 8, meaning angle 1 is 60 and angle 2 is 120. Because of vertical angles, angle 3 is 60 and angle 4 is 120.

Suppose there are some chairs in a room and that each chair has 4 legs.
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

y = 4x / x = 1/4 y

Step-by-step explanation:

chairs = x ( to find out how many chairs there are you have to take the legs and divide them by 4 )

Legs = y ( to find out how many legs there are you must multiply the amount of chairs by 4 )
