First, for end behavior, the highest power of x is x^3 and it is positive. So towards infinity, the graph will be positive, and towards negative infinity the graph will be negative (because this is a cubic graph)
To find the zeros, you set the equation equal to 0 and solve for x
x^3+2x^2-8x=0
x(x^2+2x-8)=0
x(x+4)(x-2)=0
x=0 x=-4 x=2
So the zeros are at 0, -4, and 2. Therefore, you can plot the points (0,0), (-4,0) and (2,0)
And we can plug values into the original that are between each of the zeros to see which intervals are positive or negative.
Plugging in a -5 gets us -35
-1 gets us 9
1 gets us -5
3 gets us 21
So now you know end behavior, zeroes, and signs of intervals

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=12
x-y=18
Now eliminate the y by adding the two equations together to get
2x=30
x=15
then solve for y.
15+y=12
15-y=18
y= -3
Answer: A
Explanation do Pythagorean theorem and find the third side. Then do adjacent/hypotenuse.
Answer: B 386
Step-by-step explanation:
(7*15)*2 + (7*4)*2 + (15*4)*2
= 210+120+56
= 386
The answer is -7.2 and -36/5 hope this helps
