Question

graph y = x^3 – 4x^2 + 6. Describe what you see. How is what you observe here different from what you observed in part A?

Answer 1

what's part A?

Answer 2

oh sorry,
If you wanted a really steep hill for your roller coaster, would you use the graph of y = –2x^2 + 6 or
y = (-1/10)x^2 + 6?
If I wanted to go on a roller coaster ride, I would prefer it to have the shape of the first graph (y = –2x^2 + 6), because it is much steeper.

Answer 3

so you have already graphed the equation? then what is it that you need help with in this problem? sorry i'm just a little confused at what you need help with :O

Answer 4

i need y = x^3 – 4x^2 + 6 graphed and described.

Answer 5

and compared to the observation and graph in part A.

Answer 7

Here's a new graph with your function above in red. The part A one is in blue. Yes, red is MUCH steeper. It rises to the same (0, 6), but it plunges much further down. Also notice that it crosses the x-axis a couple of times on the plunge.

Answer 8

thanks !
