Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
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 />
Hey Jay,
Since we can't see the graphs, we can't be entirely sure, but given that we are trying to model the population size of a species of bird that is slowly going extinct. I would say the best graph would be a line graph. Line graphs show changes over time so this would be the best graph to use. Hope this helped!
Cheers,
Izzy
I can see the question but if you add a picture maybe i’ll understand it a little more
