Pre-calculus Quiz Graphing Polynomials
Questions and Answers
- 1.
Please graph the following function and upload it. f(x) - H(x) = (x – 3)( x2 – 6x + 9)(x + 4)5
- 2.
Describe the graph of the polynomial function P(x) = -2(x2 – 16)(x3- 4x)
- 3.
F(x) = -4x7 – 5x5 + 3x2 – 14x -2 is a polynomial of degree ________ and it's end behavior goes from________ infinity to ________ infinity.
Explanation
The given polynomial is of degree seven because the highest exponent of x in the polynomial is seven. The end behavior of the polynomial is odd because the leading coefficient is negative. As x approaches negative infinity, the polynomial goes to positive infinity, and as x approaches positive infinity, the polynomial goes to negative infinity. Therefore, the end behavior of the polynomial goes from positive infinity to negative infinity.Rate this question:

What are all of the true statements about the function H(x) = (2x – 3)( x2 – 6x + 9)(x + 4)5
- A.
It crosses at the root x = 1.5.
- B.
It is an even function.
- C.
It's end behavior is from negative infinity to negative infinity.
- D.
It crosses the x axis at x = 4
- E.
It bounces off of the x-axis at (3, 0)
Correct Answer(s)
A. It crosses at the root x = 1.5.
B. It is an even function.
E. It bounces off of the x-axis at (3, 0)Explanation
The function H(x) = (2x – 3)(x2 – 6x + 9)(x + 4)5 crosses at the root x = 1.5 because when x = 1.5, the value of the function is not equal to zero. The function is an even function because it is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. It bounces off of the x-axis at (3, 0) because the function changes sign from negative to positive at that point.Rate this question:

- 5.
The function has an ________ degree, with ________ root(s) that have odd multiplicity and ________ root(s) that have even multiplicity.
Correct Answer(s)
even
four, 4
one, 1Explanation
The function has an even degree, which means that the highest power of the variable in the function is an even number. The function has four roots, each with a multiplicity of 4, indicating that each root appears 4 times in the function. Additionally, the function has one root with a multiplicity of 1, meaning that this particular root appears only once in the function.Rate this question:
