Answer:
- f(x) = x^3 -4x
- f(x) = -2x^3 +8x
Step-by-step explanation:
The zeros are at -2, 0, and +2, so the function will be of the form ...
f(x) = k·(x +2)(x)(x -2) . . . . . for some vertical expansion factor k
You recognize that (x+2)(x-2) is the factoring of the difference of squares, so ...
f(x) = k·x·(x^2 -4)
If we let x=1, we get
f(1) = k·(1)(1 -4) = -3k
For the first graph, it looks like we have ...
f(1) = -3 = -3k . . . . so, k = 1
For the second graph, it looks like we have ...
f(1) = 6 = -3k . . . . so, k = -2
_____
In standard form, the first graph is described by ...
f(x) = 1·x·(x^2 -4) = x^3 -4x
The second graph is described by ...
f(x) = -2x·(x^2 -4) = -2x^3 +8x

Answer:
Greg worked more than 20 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve the inequality for so we know how many hours Greg worked:
Step 1. Subtract 25 from both sides of the inequality
Step 2. Divide both sides by 14
We can conclude that Greg worked more than 20 hours.
