What is the leading coefficient of a third degree function that has an output of 221 when x=2, and has zeros of −15, 3i, and −3i

?

Vinil7 [7]2 years ago

Answer:

  1

Step-by-step explanation:

The function with the given zeros will factor as ...

  f(x) = a(x +15)(x^2 +9) . . . . with leading  coefficient 'a'

You have ...

  f(2) = 221 = a(2+15)(2^2+9) = a(17)(13) = 221a

Then a = 221/221 = 1

The leading coefficient is 1.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

As you know, a function with zero x=p has a factor of (x -p). The given zeros mean the function has factors (x -(-15)), (x -3i). and (x -(-3i)). The product of the last two factors is the difference of squares: (x^2 -(3i)^2) = (x^2 -(-9)) = (x^2 +9). This is how we arrived at the factorization shown above.

Which of the following statements best describes the effect of replacing the graph of y = f(x) with the graph of y = f(x − 9)? T
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The graph of y = f(x) will shift to the right 9 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Despite some lack of clarity, because usually this equality is in terms of x and y. Let's do it.

Taking f(x) as its parent function in other words

y=f(x)

Testing some values:

x|y

0|0

1|1

2|2

Adding to the function  -9 units is to shift it to the right

y=f(x-9)

Testing some values to certify:

x|y

-9|0-9

-8|1-9

-7|2-9

5. Point A is 3 units directly below (2, 2). What are the coordinates of point A? Answer: Point A (___)​
fiasKO [112]
A is (2, -1)

The X axis will not change since A is not going left or right of (2,2). You would count down 3 spaces for the y-axis and that would land you at -1 or you could solve by subtraction.

2-3= -1
