Why is it important to know how to use area or volume in real life?

The concepts of area and volume all talk about how much space a 2D or 3D figure occupies. In real life, there are certain jobs that include measuring and geometry, which you will be able to accomplish by your math skills. For example, engineering involves analyzing and modeling certain objects. Even if work is not included, the daily activities we do, sometimes include area and volume. Such as finding a gift box where your gift perfectly fits and measuring your daily water intake.

Have a nice day, i tried my best :DD

It’s important because you may doing something that includes that and you don’t have a ruler etc..

Graph y = 3(x + 2)3 - 3 and describe the end behavior.

-BARSIC- [3]

1) The function is 3(x + 2)³ - 3

2) The end behaviour is the limits when x approaches +/- infinity.

3) Since the polynomial is of odd degree you can predict that the ends head off in opposite direction. The limits confirm that.

4) The limit when x approaches negative infinity is negative infinity, then the left end of the function heads off downward (toward - ∞).

5) The limit when x approaches positive infinity is positivie infinity, then the right end of the function heads off upward (toward + ∞).

6) To graph the function it is important to determine:
- x-intercepts
- y-intercepts
- critical points: local maxima, local minima, and inflection points.

7) x-intercepts ⇒ y = 0

⇒ 3(x + 2)³ - 3 = 0 ⇒ (x + 2)³ - 1 = 0


⇒ (x + 2)³ = -1 ⇒ x + 2 = 1 ⇒ x = - 1


8) y-intercepts ⇒ x = 0

y = 3(x + 2)³ - 3 = 3(0 + 2)³ - 3 = 0 - 3×8 - 3 = 24 - 3 = 21


9) Critical points ⇒ first derivative = 0


i) dy / dx = 9(x + 2)² = 0


⇒ x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2


ii) second derivative: to determine where x = - 2 is a local maximum, a local minimum, or an inflection point.


y'' = 18 (x + 2); x = - 2 ⇒ y'' = 0 ⇒ inflection point.


Then the function does not have local minimum nor maximum, but an inflection point at x = -2.


Using all that information you can graph the function, and I attache the figure with the graph.
