Answer:

Example:           <em>- 2x³ + 10x²</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

1.<em>A cubic function</em> is a polynomial of degree 3 in one variable. This means that the highest exponent of the variable is 3: <em>x³</em>

2. <em>Leading coefficient</em> is the coefficient of the term with the highest exponent: in <em>ax³</em> <em>the leading coefficient is a</em>.

3. General form of a <em>cubic function</em>: ax³ + bx² + cx + d, where a ≠ 0

4. <em>Zeros</em> of a polynomial function are the values of x for which the polynomial values zero: <em>ax³ + bx² + cx + d = 0</em>

<em />

5. When the polinomial is factored you can tell easily which the zeros are.

This is how a factored cubic function looks: a(x - x₁)(x - x₂)(x - x₃), where <em>a is the leading coefficient, and x₁, x₂, and x₃ are the three zeroes of the function</em>.

With that, you can write a cubic function with the restrictions stated:

  • l<em>eading coefficien of - 2</em>: a = - 2
  • <em>one positive zero</em>: x₁ = 5
  • for facility, make the other zeros equal to zero, x₂ = 0, and x₃ = 0
  • name the function f(x)

         result: f(x) = - 2( x -5)(x - 0)(x -0) = -2(x - 5)(x)(x)

  • Expand the expression using distributive property:

         - 2x³ + 10x²

From eight different books, in how many ways can any four of them be arranged side by side on a bookshelf?
Snezhnost [94]
First we calculate how many ways you can choose four books from a set of eight.
We use the formula n! / [r! * (n-r)!]

8! / [4! * 4!]

= 8*7*6*5 / 4*3*2*1 = 70 ways

Then we have to calculate how many permutations can be made from 4 objects which equals 4*3*2*1 = 24

So, the TOTAL number of ways = 70 * 24 = 1,680

Mariana [72]
The blanks should be:
<span>2 halves
</span><span>7 halves
</span><span>7 friends

This is because 3 and 1/2 is the same as the improper fraction of 7/2. </span>

Describe the end behavior of the graphed function
Troyanec [42]

You have to consider the “ends” of the x-axis, the far right (for infinitely large values of x) and left (for infinitely small values of x) of the graph.

From the diagram above you can see that:

  1. When x\rightarrow -\infty, then y=f(x)\rightarrow 1 (notice that as the values of x get smaller and smaller, the graph gets closer and closer to the line y=1);
  2. When x\rightarrow \infty, then y=f(x)\rightarrow 1. (notice that as the values of x get larger and larger, the graph gets closer and closer to the line y=1).

Answer: correct choice is D.
