Question

Determine the end behavior of the graph of the function.

f (x) = 9x3(4 - x)(7x + 3)4

Down left and up right

Down left and down right

Up left and up right

Up left and down right

Find the zeros of the function and state the multiplicities.

f (x) = -4x7(x - 7)4(x - 8)7

0 (multiplicity 7), -7 (multiplicity 4), -8 (multiplicity 7)

7 (multiplicity 4), 8 (multiplicity 7)

0 (multiplicity 7), 7 (multiplicity 4), 8 (multiplicity 7)

-7 (multiplicity 4), -8 (multiplicity 7)

Determine whether the intermediate value theorem guarantees that the function has a zero on the given interval.

f (x) = x3 - 5x2 - 11x + 2; [4, 5]

Yes

No

Use synthetic division to divide the polynomials.

(s4 + 4s3 - 7s2 - 16s + 21) ÷ (s - 2)

Explanation / Answer

Determine the end behavior of the graph of the function.

f (x) = 9x3(4 - x)(7x + 3)4

at x = -infinity, f(x) is negative so left down

at x = +infinity, f(x) is negative so right down

so option 2

Find the zeros of the function and state the multiplicities.

f (x) = -4x7(x - 7)4(x - 8)7

roots are 0, 7, and 8

0 (multiplicity 7), 7 (multiplicity 4), 8 (multiplicity 7)

option (c)

Determine whether the intermediate value theorem guarantees that the function has a zero on the given interval.

f (x) = x3 - 5x2 - 11x + 2; [4, 5]

f(4) = 64-80-44+2 = -58

f(5) = 125-125-55+2 = -53

so it doesn't guarantee as both the sign are negative

No is the answer

Use synthetic division to divide the polynomials.

(s4 + 4s3 - 7s2 - 16s + 21) ÷ (s - 2)

synthetic division is the method to find zeros of the equation or to find whether a number is root of the equation.

s = 2 in s4 + 4s3 - 7s2 - 16s + 21

16+32-28-32 + 21 = 9

not root
