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

A circle has a radius of 6.87 feet. What is the circumference of this circle? Use 3.14 for pi. Round your final answer to the ne
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The circumference of this circle is 43.1 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a circle = 2\pi r

Where,

r is the radius of the circle.

Therefore, we can find the circumference of the circle by substituting the values to the equation:

2\pi 6.87

2*3.14* 6.87

43.1436

The circumference of this circle is 43.1 feet. (Rounded to the nearest tenth)

Suppose that water is pouring into a swimming pool in the shape of a right circular cylinder at a constant rate of 8 cubic feet
adell [148]

Answer:

dh/dt = 0,07 ft/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The swimming pool has the shape of right circular cylinder, therefore its volume is

V(c) = π*x²*h

Where x is the radius of the base and h the height

We take differentiation on both sides of the equation to get:

dV/dt  =  π*x²*dh/dt

The rate of change in height of water in the pool, is independent of the height of the water, since the pool is a right crcular cylinder, and dV/dt is constant at 8 ft³/min.

Then:

8  = π*x²*dh/dt

dh/dt = 8 /  π*x²

dh/dt = 8/113,04

dh/dt = 0,07 ft/min

Write the slope intercept form of the equation through the given point with the given slope.
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

y = 3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

With the slope and a point, I can make an incomplete slope-intercept equation and solve for the y-intercept.

y=3x+b\\\\2=3(2)+b\\\\2=6+b\\\\2-6=6-6+b\\\\-4=b

The equation is:

y=3x-4

Hope this helps!
