Graph y = 3(x + 2)3 - 3 and describe the end behavior.

Mathematics

-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago
3 0
1) The function is 3(x + 2)³ - 3

2) The end behaviour is the limits when x approaches +/- infinity.

3) Since the polynomial is of odd degree you can predict that the ends head off in opposite direction. The limits confirm that.

4) The limit when x approaches negative infinity is negative infinity, then the left end of the function heads off downward (toward - ∞).

5) The limit when x approaches positive infinity is positivie infinity, then the right end of the function heads off upward (toward + ∞).

6) To graph the function it is important to determine:
- x-intercepts
- y-intercepts
- critical points: local maxima, local minima, and inflection points.


7) x-intercepts ⇒ y = 0

⇒ <span>3(x + 2)³ - 3 = 0 ⇒ (x + 2)³ - 1 = 0
</span>

<span>⇒ (x + 2)³ = -1 ⇒ x + 2 =  1 ⇒ x = - 1
</span>

8) y-intercepts ⇒ x = 0

y = <span>3(x + 2)³ - 3 = 3(0 + 2)³ - 3 = 0 - 3×8 - 3 = 24 - 3 = 21
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>9) Critical points ⇒ first derivative = 0
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>i) dy / dx = 9(x + 2)² = 0
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>⇒ x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>ii) second derivative: to determine where x = - 2  is a local maximum, a local  minimum, or an inflection point.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>y'' = 18 (x + 2); x = - 2 ⇒ y'' = 0 ⇒ inflection point.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Then the function does not have local minimum nor maximum, but an inflection point at x =  -2.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Using all that information you can graph the function, and I attache the figure with the graph.

Answer:

w = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

–9 = –3(w − 5)

-3(w - 5) = -9

w - 5 = 3

w = 5 + 3

w = 8

Question 13. Please
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ OPG is right with hypotenuse OG being the radius of the circle

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

OG² = OP² + PG²

[ PG = 11 , since OP is the perpendicular bisector of FG ]

OG² = 8² + 11² = 64 + 121 = 185

Δ OQS is right with hypotenuse OS being the radius

Using Pythagoras' identity

OS² = QS² + OQ² , that is

185 = 13² + x²

185 = 169 + x² ( subtract 169 from both sides )

16 = x² ( take the square root of both sides )

4 = x → d
