Answer:

x³+8

Step-by-step explanation:

(x − a)(x^2 +ax + a^2)

a=2

Substitute a for 2 in the algebraic expression

(x − 2)(x^2 +2x + 2^2)

(x − 2)(x^2 +2x + 4)

Multiply (x^2 +2x + 4) by (x-2)

x(x^2 +2x + 4)-2(x^2 +2x + 4)

x³+2x²+4x-2x²-4x-8

Collect like terms

x³+2x²-2x²+4x-4x+8

x³+8

Complete the statements about the key features of the graph of f(x) = x5 – 9x3. As x goes to negative infinity, f(x) goes to neg
Mars2501 [29]
The function is f(x)= x^{5} -9x ^{3}

1. let's factorize the expression x^{5} -9x ^{3}:

f(x)= x^{5} -9x ^{3}= x^{3} ( x^{2} -9)=x^{3}(x-3)(x+3)

the zeros of f(x) are the values of x which make f(x) = 0.

from the factorized form of the function, we see that the roots are:

-3, multiplicity 1
3, multiplicity 1
0, multiplicity 3

(the multiplicity of the roots is the power of each factor of f(x) )


2.  
The end behavior of f(x), whose term of largest degree is x^{5}, is the same as the end behavior of  x^{3}, which has a well known graph. Check the picture attached. 

(similarly the end behavior of an even degree polynomial, could be compared to the end behavior of x^{2})

so, like the graph of x^{3}, the graph of f(x)= x^{5} -9x ^{3} :

"As x goes to negative infinity, f(x) goes to negative infinity, and as x goes to positive infinity, f(x) goes to positive infinity. "

7/6π" (or 1.17π"). To find the circumference (therefore the distance the hand travels) you do 2rπ (radius is 7in), which is 14π, then divide it by 12 bc the hand is only moving five minutes (which is simplified to 7/6π). You can't simplify π.
