Question

Show your work including the tables and graphs.

1. Graph the function f(x) = (x + 3)^3 by hand and describe the end behavior.

2. Graph the function f(x) = –x4 – 4 by hand and describe the end behavior.

Answer 1

you set up the function table first

Give different inputs ( X values) and get output (y Values)

From the function itself you know the x-intercepts. it is -3 with a multiplicity of 3. So your graph is going to be stretched at x = -3.

Now set up the table and get you (x,y) points to plot the graph
