Answer:

y intercept = -2

x intercepts = -2,-1,1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 -x-2

Set this equation equal to zero to find the x intercepts.

Factoring by grouping

0 =x^3 -x   +2x^2 -2

   = x( x^2-1) +2(x^2-1)

Factoring out the (x^2-1)

0= (x^2-1) (x+2)

Factoring the first term using the difference of squares (a^2-b^2) = (a-b)(a+b)

0 = (x-1) (x+1) (x+2)

Using the zero product property

x-1 = 0  x+1  = 0  x+2 =0

x=1,  x=-1   x=-2

The x intercepts are -2, -1, 1


To find the y intercepts, set x=0

y = x^3 + 2x^2 -x-2

y = 0 -2

y = -2

HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since (1, 3) are the solutions to the function g(x), then

g(x) = (x – 1)(x – 3) = x² –3x – x + 3 = x² – 4x + 3

We know that f(x) is on the same plane and f(1) = 1.

Let's take g(1) = (1 – 1)(1 – 3) = 0

Therefore, when x = 1; f = 1 and g = 0. Hence

g(1) = f(1) – 1

In order words, g(x) could be f(x) – 1.

The correct option is A
