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

Answer:

-7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-8x+7=0

combine like terms

6x+7=0

subtract the 7 from both sides

6x=-7

divide 6 from both sides
