Answer 1

Here it is.

Answer 2

can you please attach word2003

Answer 3

sure, one sec.

Answer 4

Here it is.

Answer 5

Scenario 1:
A. Graph y = –2x2 + 6. Describe what you see.


a tall upside down parabola …

B. –2x2 + 6 is what kind of polynomial? Classify the polynomial by degree and number of terms.

it’s a binomial of ^2 degree (second degree)

C. Next, graph y = x2 + 6. Describe what you see. How is what you observe here different from what you observed in part A?

a flattish upside down parabola ; its flatter since the slope is less than 1


D. If you wanted a really steep hill for your roller coaster, would you use the graph of y = –2x2 + 6 or
y = x2 + 6?

I would use an increased slope of greater than 1 to get steeper
Scenario 2:
A. Graph y = x3 – 2x2 + 6. Describe what you see.

its wavey, down to up from left to right


B. x3 – 2x2 + 6 is what kind of polynomial? Classify the polynomial by degree and number of terms.

trinomial, and a ^3 degree (third degree)


C. Next, graph y = x3 – 4x2 + 6. Describe what you see. How is what you observe here different from what you observed in part A?


same thing, only different,

D. If you wanted the middle part of your roller coaster to have a steeper drop, would you use the graph of
y = x3 – 2x2 + 6 or y = x3 – 4x2 + 6?

don’t know, haven’t actually graphed it 

Answer 6

For D. you would use y = x^3 - 4x^2 + 6

Answer 7

Oh Gosh, this is great!!! Thanks, this helps me sooo much on finishing my class before school! Now to make sure I understand it... :)
