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

No . . . while the difference represents the absolute magnitude between two numbers . . . for example . . .
<em>The difference between 5 and 2 is . . . 3</em>
<em>The difference between 6.4 and 9.5 is . . . 3.1</em>
. . . there is still the chance that the difference may be zero . . . in which case the difference is neither positive nor negative
. . . so in short . . . the answer is . . . <u><em>NO</em></u>
Answer:
9x = 1-1 is q r x= 2x2 + 2 is 4
Answer:
3
Explanation:
3^2 is equal to 9, and 4^2 is equal to 16, so sqrt(10) must be in between 9 and 16. Since 10 is closer to 9 than to 16, sqrt(10) is closer to 3 than 4, which means that to the nearest integer sqrt(10)=3
