For each question below, use the function f (x) = x3 a. on what interval(s) is this function negative? b. what is/are the roots of this function? c. what is the end behavior of this function?

A. (-∞ , 0)

B. x = 0 triple root

C. The function tends to infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

For the function f(x) = x^3 we have:

Negative intervals:

(-∞ , 0)

The roots of this function is:

x = 0

The final behavior of this function tends toward infinity

A graphic is attached below

A. The function is negative on the interval (-∞, 0)

B. The only root is x = 0

C. The function approaches ∞ when x gets really large (goes towards ∞). The function approaches -∞ when x gets really small (goes towards -∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

The function given is

The graph is attached. Looking at the graph will make understanding the solutions easier.

A.

We need to find the intervals that is divided by the roots of the function.

To find x-intercepts, we set

*Looking at the graph, we can also see that x=0 is the only x-intercept*

Thus the intervals are from -∞ to 0 and from 0 to ∞

We take value in each interval to determine whether the function is negative or positive. If the answer is positive, function is increasing, if negative, the function is decreasing.

Hence it is decreasing

Hence it is increasing

The function is negative on the interval (-∞, 0)

B.

To find the roots, x-intercepts, we set

The only root is x = 0

C.

To find end behavior, we look at the graph.

The end behavior means what happens to the function when x goes to ∞ and -∞

Looking at the graph, the function approaches ∞ when x gets really large (goes towards ∞). The function approaches -∞ when x gets really small (goes towards -∞).

*Also, if you plug in large x values, f(x) goes towards infinity. If you plug in small x values, f(x) goes towards negative infinity*

center (1,3) with radius 6

step-by-step explanation:

we must complete the square to find the center and radius of the circle.

first make sure the x and y squared terms have 1 as their coefficients. we also make sure x and y terms together.

we now create space between the x and y terms with parenthesis.

we complete the square by taking the middle terms -2x and the -6y - divide each and square them.

we add the squares to both sides.

simplify.

and write the quadratics in factored form.

the center is (h,k) or (1,3). the radius is the square root of 36 which is 6.
