the correct answer on edge is;
a. she divided by 3 instead of the GCF.
d. she didn’t complete step 4 and use the distributive property to be sure the expressions are equivalent.
e. she didn’t undistribute the GCF from the original expression.
welcome!
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
Hope this helps<span />
Answer:
The equation for the amount of dollars pledged in total is f(M) = 2.00M + 7.25, and the amount for just Kiara is f(M) = 0.25M + 5.25
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount they pledge up front is a constant and therefore need to be added to the end of the equation. The amount per mile should be a variable amount. This gets multiplied by the M variable. So we start with the Kiara amount.
0.25 per mile = 0.25M
5.25 pledged = 5.25
Now put them together to get f(M) = 0.25M + 5.25
Do the same with Mark.
1.75 per mile = 1.75M
2.00 pledged = 2.00
Now put them together to get f(M) = 1.75M + 2.00
To get the final total, we add both equations together.
f(M) = 0.25M + 5.25 + 1.75M + 2.00
f(M) = 2.00M + 7.25
Add the zeros on to 7.5 to which you would move the decimal and it should be like this 750.0 or 750
