<u>End behavior: </u>
The parent function is: f(x) = x³, which starts (from the left side) at -∞ and ends (on the right side) at +∞.
<u>Zeroes:</u>
f(x) = x³ + 2x² - 8x
0 = x³ + 2x² - 8x
0 = x(x² + 2x - 8)
0 = x(x + 4)(x - 2)
0 = x 0 = x + 4 0 = x - 2
x = 0 x = -4 x = 2
<u>Intervals:</u>
Put the zeroes in order: -4, 0, 2
since f(x) is increasing from the left then the interval from -4 to 0 is positive and the interval from 0 to 2 is negative.

Answer:
8 in 11 or 0.7272
Step-by-step explanation:
Between 6 apples. 2 lemons and 3 melons, Will has a total of 11 fruits in his garden. There are three apples labeled with even numbers (2,4 and 6), one melon (2) and one lemon (2), for a total of five fruits.
The probability that a randomly selected fruit is an APPLE or has an EVEN number is given by the probability that it is an apple, P(A), added to the probability that it is even, P(E), minus the probability that it is an even apple, P(A and E):
There is a 8 in 11, or a 0.7272 chance that the fruit is an APPLE or has an EVEN number.
