<u>End behavior: </u>
The parent function is: f(x) = x³, which starts (from the left side) at -∞ and ends (on the right side) at +∞.
<u>Zeroes:</u>
f(x) = x³ + 2x² - 8x
0 = x³ + 2x² - 8x
0 = x(x² + 2x - 8)
0 = x(x + 4)(x - 2)
0 = x 0 = x + 4 0 = x - 2
x = 0 x = -4 x = 2
<u>Intervals:</u>
Put the zeroes in order: -4, 0, 2
since f(x) is increasing from the left then the interval from -4 to 0 is positive and the interval from 0 to 2 is negative.
<u>Graph:</u>

Answer:
<em>$570 a week</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Percentage Calculations </u>
One tricky fact about percentages is that they are usually performed over the last computed quantity. It makes them non-additive. For example, a raise of 10% followed by a 10% some time later, is NOT a 20% of total raise
The question states Ashely is making $500 a week at her job and that she receives a 20% pay raise. After that raise she will make
A year later she takes a 5% pay cut. We must be careful to take that percentage from the last earnings. She now makes
