Answer:
It is a state of decay.
Step-by-step explanation:
Graph to figure out of it is growth or decay. If it is increasing than it is growth, if it is decreasing it is decay.
Graph:
0 16
1 9
2 2

Every fraction is just a short way to write a division.
Whenever you see a fraction, it means
the top number
divided by
the bottom number.
When you actually do the division, like with a pencil or a calculator,
the quotient you get is the decimal form of the fraction.
I won't insult your intelligence by giving you 7 divided by 25 .
I'm sure you can do that easily.
I also won't insult your intelligence by sending you to a web site.
I assume that if you were on a desert island without your phone
or any 4G coverage, you'd be able to figure out a way to divide
7 by 25.
The given <span>polynomial is ⇒⇒⇒ </span><span>f(x) = x³ - 3x² + 81x - 243
</span>
by factoring the absolute term (243) to find one of the factors of the the polynomial
∴ 243 = (1 * 243) or (3 * 81) or (9 * 27)
check which of the numbers {1 , 3 , 9 , 27 , 81 , 243} make f(x)<span>= 0
</span>
i have checked 3 and it makes <span>polynomial = 0
</span>
i.e: f(3) = 0 ⇒⇒ (x - 3) is one of the factors of f(x)
By using the reminder theorem ⇒⇒ see the attache figure
∴

And ⇒⇒ (x² + 81) is a sum of two squares which can be factored using the complex numbers as following
x² + 81 = ( x + 9i ) ( x - 9i )
∴ f(x) = <span>
x³ - 3x² + 81x - 243 = (x - 3)(x + 9i)(x - 9i)</span>
On your calculator, make sure you're in radian mode, not degree mode, that you are in a trig coordinate plane (do this by hitting "zoom" and choosing ZTrig), and when you enter the function into the "y =", you have to enter it in like this: 7cos(2x)-3. Hit "graph" and you'll see that the wave goes through the x-axis in 4 places within your specified interval. Hit 2nd and "trace" and then "zero". Move your cursor so it's just above the x-axis where the curve goes through and hit enter, then move it so it's just below the x-axis where the curve goes through and hit enter again. Hit enter a 3rd time, and you SHOULD see that your x has a value while y = 0. Do that for all of the places where the curve goes through the x-axis. That's how you find the zeros of a trig curve (or any curve, for that matter) on a calculator. The zeros are the solutions. If this was solvable like a regular equation, using trig identities and right triangles, you wouldn't have to use your calculator. But just like when you go to factor a second degree polynomial and you're having trouble with it you can use the quadratic formula and it's never-fail, neither is your calculator.
