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: 3.2 qts
Step-by-step explanation:
A=1/2 * b *h
1/2 * 4*8 = 16 square foot
Area is 16 square foot
Multiply the area by the quarts of paint it takes to cover 1 square foot.
16 * 0.2 = 3.2 qts
Answer:
-26 + 4/5d
Step-by-step explanation:
-2/5 ( 15 - 2d + 50)
= -2/5 ( 65 - 2d)
= -2/5 * 65 - (-2/5) * 2d
= -26 - (-4/5d)
= -26 + 4/5d
