End behavior of a polynomial function is based on the <u>degree of the function</u> and the <u>sign of the leading coefficient</u>.
<u>Sign of the Leading Coefficient</u> determines behavior of right side:
- Positive: right side goes to positive infinity
- Negative: right side goes to negative infinity
<u>Degree of the function</u> determines the behavior of the left side:
- Odd degree: left side is opposite direction of right side
- Even degree: left side is same direction as right side
If you have an expression in the denominator, then you must divide the denominator into the numerator. The result will have a degree and a leading coefficient. Use the rules stated above to determine the end behavior.
For example:
y = 
We can factor to get: y = 
y = x + 3
Leading Coefficient of y = x + 3 is positive so right side goes to positive infinity.
Degree of y = x + 3 is odd so left side is opposite direction of right side, which means left side goes to negative infinity.
The denominator may not divide evenly into the numerator thus leaving a remainder, but that is ok. We can still use the rules stated above.
The vertices of the original quadrilateral can be written in matrix form using the vertex matrix. The vertex matrix is

To find the coordinates of the endpoints or vertices of the image of the given coordinate points reflected about the y-axis, we just need to multiply the transformation matrix by the vertex matrix. The transformation matrix for this particular problem is

Multiplying the two matrices, we have

Therefore, the coordinates of the endpoints or vertices of the image are
(5,4), (1,-1), (3, -6) and (7, -3).
Answer:
r = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
2r + 7 = - 1
2r = - 1 - 7
2r = - 8
Y-intercept is (0,-0.7)
x-intercept is (-1.2,0)
First you need to get x on one side of the equation and to do that subtract 2a from both sides.
28 + 2a = 5a + 7
-2a -2a
28=3a+7
Then we need to get a alone by subtracting 7 on both sides.
28=3a+7
-7 -7
21=3a
Finally divide each side by 3 and you should get a = 7. Hope this helps!
