Sketxh the graph of y=(x+3)^3 and state the points where the graph crosses the axes
1 answer:
Answer: the graph crosses the x-axis at x = -3
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
y = (x + 3)³
To find where the graph crosses the x-axis, let y = 0 and solve for x:
0 = (x + 3)³
0 = (x + 3) with a multiplicity of 3
-3 = x with a multiplicity of 3.
Since multiplicity is an ODD number, the graph CROSSES the x-axis at x = -3

<u>Graph:</u>
- Leading coefficient is POSITIVE so right side goes to +∞
- Degree of polynomial is ODD so left side goes to -∞
