Answer: a) zeros: x = {0, 4, -2}
b) as x → ∞, y → ∞
as x → -∞, y → ∞
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
I think you mean (a) find the zeros and (b) describe the end behavior
(a) Find the zeros by setting each factor equal to zero and solving for x:
x (x - 4) (x + 2)⁴ = 0
- x = 0 Multiplicity of 1 --> odd multiplicity so it crosses the x-axis
- x = 4 Multiplicity of 1 --> odd multiplicity so it crosses the x-axis
- x = -2 <u>Multiplicity of 4 </u> --> even multiplicity so it touches the x-axis
Degree = 6
(b) End behavior is determined by the following two criteria:
- Sign of Leading Coefficient (Right side): Positive is ↑, Negative is ↓
- Degree (Left side): Even is same direction as right side, Odd is opposite direction of right side
Sign of the leading coefficient is Positive so right side goes UP
as x → ∞, y → ∞
Degree of 6 is Even so Left side is the same direction as right (UP)
as x → -∞, y → ∞
If you were to make your own measurements, your significant digits should include all of the measurable digits (the digits that correspond to the marks on the ruler) as well as one estimated position beyond the smallest measureable digit (the 5 in 3.5 cm, and the 2 in 3.52 cm).
