Answer:

When we have a given function, y = f(x), the general way of graphing the function is finding a lot of coordinate pairs (x, f(x)) and graphing them in a coordinate axis, and then connect them.

So here we have:

p(x) = 2x^(3)+7x^(2)-3x-18

Just let's find the value of p(x) for different values of x, and let's do it.

p(0) = 2*0^(3)+7*0^(2)-3*0-18 = -18

Then the point (0, -18) belongs to the graph

p(1) = 2*1^(3)+7*1^(2)-3*1-18 = 2 + 7 - 3 - 18 = -12

then the point (1, - 12) belongs to the graph.

p(-1) =  2*(-1)^(3)+7*(-1)^(2)-3*(-1)-18  = -2 + 7 + 3 - 18 = -10

then the point (-1, -10) belongs to the graph:

p(2) =  2*2^(3)+7*2^(2)-3*2-18 = 16 + 28 - 6 - 18 =  20

Then the point (2, 20) belongs to the graph

p(-2) =  2*(-2)^(3)+7*(-2)^(2)-3*(-2)-18 = -16 + 28 + 6 - 18 = 0

Then the point (-2, 0) belongs to the graph.

p(-3) =  2*(-3)^(3)+7*(-3)^(2)-3*(-3)-18 = -54 + 63 + 9 - 18 = 0

Then the point (-3, 0) belongs to the graph.

Now that we have 6 points we can graph them and try to connect them.

We also know that this is a cubic polynomial, so we can expect that it changes its direction two times (no more than that) then knowing that we can estimate a shape for the graph, and you will obtain something like the graph of the image below, where I just connected the known points.

Use a diagram to name each of the following pairs of angles. If the name doesn't exist say none​
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a vocabulary problem, identifying the names of things on a diagram.

Angles are "interior" when they are between the "parallel" lines. They are "exterior" when they are outside those lines. They are "alternate" if they are on opposite sides of the transversal, and "same side" if they are not.

They are "vertical" if they share a vertex and have opposite rays for sides, and they are "corresponding" if they are in the same quadrant of the intersection of crossing lines. (1, 5, 9, 13 are "corresponding", for example.)

If a solid has faces that consist of 2 equilateral triangles and 3 congruent rectangles, what type of solid is it?
Burka [1]
A right triangular prism is a solid that has faces that consist of 2 equilateral triangles and 3 congruent rectangles. It is also described to have two parallel faces, and 3 other faces that belong to the same place (and are not parallel to the parallel pair of faces).
