Do you agree with the statement that " cubic functions must have at least 1 x-intercept but not more than 3, whereas quadratic f

unctions may or may not have x-intercepts

Answer:

Yes, I agree

Step-by-step explanation:

For the cubic function

A cubic function is represented as:

f(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d

A cubic function may have 1, 2 or 3 x intercepts. This is shown below

For 3 x intercepts

y = x^3 - x

Equate y to 0

x^3 - x = 0

Expand

x(x^2 - 1) = 0

Express x^2 - 1 as difference of two squares

x(x - 1)(x +1 ) = 0

<em>x = 0 or 1 or -1</em>

For 2 x intercepts

y = x^3 - x

y  =(x-5)^2)(x+7)

Equate y to 0

(x-5)^2(x+7) = 0

Expand

(x-5)(x-5)(x+7) = 0

<em>x= 5 or x = -7</em>

For 1 x intercept

y = x^3

Equate y to 0

x^3 = 0

Take cube roots of both sides

x = 0

It has been shown above that a cubic function may have 1, 2 or 3.

So, I agree to the statement

For the quadratic function

A quadratic function will not have any x intercept when the function can not be factorized;

E.g.

y = x^2 + x + 17

<em>The above function has no x intercept.</em>

A quadratic function will have at least 1 x intercept when the function can be factorized;

E.g.

y = x^2- 6x + 9

Equate y to 0

x^2- 6x + 9 = 0

Expand

x^2 - 3x - 3x + 9 = 0

(x - 3)(x-3) = 0

x = 3

We've shown that a quadratic may have no x intercept, and it may also have x intercept(s)

Hence, I agree to both statement

A person runs 1/8 mile in 1/64 hour.<br> The person's speed is (BLANK) miles per hour.
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: The person's speed is 8 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve we want to convert the \frac{1}{8} and \frac{1}{64} proportionally for the number of miles per hour. We know that multiplying a fraction by its reciprocal will equal 1. So let's do that for the value of the hour.

\frac{1}{64}×\frac{64}{1} =\frac{64}{64} =1

Since we multiplied that to the number of hours we must also do that for the number of miles.

\frac{1}{8}×\frac{64}{1} =\frac{64}{8} =8

Write the equation in standard form for the circle with center (-3,3) and radius 3
leva [86]

Answer:

(x+3)^2+(y−3)^2=9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a circle is given by

(x−h)^2+(y−k)^2=r^2  where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x− -3)^2+(y−3)^2=3^2

(x+3)^2+(y−3)^2=9
