Answer:
The correct option is D) (5x − 2)(2x − 3).
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided expression.
Where x is time in minutes.
We need to find the appropriate form of the expression that would reveal the time in minutes when the trough is empty.
When the trough is empty the whole expression becomes equal to 0.
Substitute the whole expression equal to 0 and solve for x that will gives us the required expression.
Now consider the provided option.
By comparison the required expression is D) (5x − 2)(2x − 3).
Hence, the correct option is D) (5x − 2)(2x − 3).
First, for end behavior, the highest power of x is x^3 and it is positive. So towards infinity, the graph will be positive, and towards negative infinity the graph will be negative (because this is a cubic graph)
To find the zeros, you set the equation equal to 0 and solve for x
x^3+2x^2-8x=0
x(x^2+2x-8)=0
x(x+4)(x-2)=0
x=0 x=-4 x=2
So the zeros are at 0, -4, and 2. Therefore, you can plot the points (0,0), (-4,0) and (2,0)
And we can plug values into the original that are between each of the zeros to see which intervals are positive or negative.
Plugging in a -5 gets us -35
-1 gets us 9
1 gets us -5
3 gets us 21
So now you know end behavior, zeroes, and signs of intervals
Hope this helps<span />
