3.2 Quadratic Functions

1.

The path passes through the origin and has vertex at $(- 4, 7),$ so $(h) x = - \frac{7}{16} {(x + 4)}^{2} + 7.$ To make the shot, $h (- 7.5)$ would need to be about 4 but $h (- 7.5) \approx 1.64;$ he doesn’t make it.

3.3 Power Functions and Polynomial Functions

1.

$f (x)$ is a power function because it can be written as $f (x) = 8 x^{5} .$ The other functions are not power functions.

2.

As $x$ approaches positive or negative infinity, $f (x)$ decreases without bound: as $x \to \pm \infty$ , $f (x) \to - \infty$ because of the negative coefficient.

3.

The degree is 6. The leading term is $- x^{6} .$ The leading coefficient is $- 1.$

4.

As $x \to \infty, f (x) \to - \infty; a s x \to - \infty, f (x) \to - \infty .$ It has the shape of an even degree power function with a negative coefficient.

5.

The leading term is $0.2 x^{3},$ so it is a degree 3 polynomial. As $x$ approaches positive infinity, $f (x)$ increases without bound; as $x$ approaches negative infinity, $f (x)$ decreases without bound.

6.

y-intercept $(0, 0);$ x-intercepts $(0, 0), (- 2, 0),$ and $(5, 0)$

7.

There are at most 12 $x -$ intercepts and at most 11 turning points.

8.

The end behavior indicates an odd-degree polynomial function; there are 3 $x -$ intercepts and 2 turning points, so the degree is odd and at least 3. Because of the end behavior, we know that the lead coefficient must be negative.

9.

The $x -$ intercepts are $(2, 0), (- 1, 0),$ and $(5, 0),$ the y-intercept is $(0, 2),$ and the graph has at most 2 turning points.

3.4 Graphs of Polynomial Functions

1.

y-intercept $(0, 0);$ x-intercepts $(0, 0), (- 5, 0), (2, 0),$ and $(3, 0)$

2.

The graph has a zero of –5 with multiplicity 3, a zero of –1 with multiplicity 2, and a zero of 3 with multiplicity 2.

3.

4.

Because $f$ is a polynomial function and since $f (1)$ is negative and $f (2)$ is positive, there is at least one real zero between $x = 1$ and $x = 2.$

5.

$f (x) = - \frac{1}{8} {(x - 2)}^{3} {(x + 1)}^{2} (x - 4)$

6.

The minimum occurs at approximately the point $(0, - 6.5),$ and the maximum occurs at approximately the point $(3.5, 7) .$

3.6 Zeros of Polynomial Functions

1.

2.

The zeros are 2, –2, and –4.

3.

There are no rational zeros.

4.

The zeros are $–4, \frac{1}{2}, and 1 .$

5.

$f (x) = - \frac{1}{2} x^{3} + \frac{5}{2} x^{2} - 2 x + 10$

6.

There must be 4, 2, or 0 positive real roots and 0 negative real roots. The graph shows that there are 2 positive real zeros and 0 negative real zeros.

3.7 Rational Functions

1.

End behavior: as $x \to \pm \infty, f (x) \to 0;$ Local behavior: as $x \to 0, f (x) \to \infty$ (there are no x- or y-intercepts)

2.

Graph of f(x)=1/(x-3)^2-4 with its vertical asymptote at x=3 and its horizontal asymptote at y=-4.

The function and the asymptotes are shifted 3 units right and 4 units down. As $x \to 3, f (x) \to \infty,$ and as $x \to \pm \infty, f (x) \to - 4.$

The function is $f (x) = \frac{1}{{(x - 3)}^{2}} - 4.$

3.

$\frac{12}{11}$

4.

The domain is all real numbers except $x = 1$ and $x = 5.$

5.

Removable discontinuity at $x = 5.$ Vertical asymptotes: $x = 0, x = 1.$

6.

Vertical asymptotes at $x = 2$ and $x = - 3;$ horizontal asymptote at $y = 4.$

7.

For the transformed reciprocal squared function, we find the rational form. $f (x) = \frac{1}{{(x - 3)}^{2}} - 4 = \frac{1 - 4 {(x - 3)}^{2}}{{(x - 3)}^{2}} = \frac{1 - 4 (x^{2} - 6 x + 9)}{(x - 3) (x - 3)} = \frac{- 4 x^{2} + 24 x - 35}{x^{2} - 6 x + 9}$

Because the numerator is the same degree as the denominator we know that as $x \to \pm \infty, f (x) \to - 4; so y = - 4$ is the horizontal asymptote. Next, we set the denominator equal to zero, and find that the vertical asymptote is $x = 3,$ because as $x \to 3, f (x) \to \infty .$ We then set the numerator equal to 0 and find the x-intercepts are at $(2.5, 0)$ and $(3.5, 0) .$ Finally, we evaluate the function at 0 and find the y-intercept to be at $(0, \frac{- 35}{9}) .$

8.

Horizontal asymptote at $y = \frac{1}{2} .$ Vertical asymptotes at $x = 1 and x = 3.$ y-intercept at $(0, \frac{4}{3} .)$

x-intercepts at $(2, 0) and (- 2, 0) .$ $(- 2, 0)$ is a zero with multiplicity 2, and the graph bounces off the x-axis at this point. $(2, 0)$ is a single zero and the graph crosses the axis at this point.

Graph of f(x)=(x+2)^2(x-2)/2(x-1)^2(x-3) with its vertical and horizontal asymptotes.
