Question

-4x^5+2x^3-x^2+16=f(x)

Answer 1

I am suppose to Graph this

Answer 2

Well, there are so many techniques you can do, but it depends on the level of math you are at. Calculus adds a few more graphing techniques than lower pre-cal or algebra. I'm guessing this is just pre-calculus or algebra 2 or something, right?

Answer 3

I am in calculus now this is a review question from trig

Answer 4

but I am super rusty

Answer 5

Ah, alright then. So calculus means more work, haha. Well, we can work through it all.

Answer 6

Well, we can always start with interecepts. We can find the x and y-intercept. So setting x = 0, we get the y intercept, which is just 16. Setting y = 0 is a bit more work.

Answer 7

I apologize for forgetting the name of the test, something like leading coefficient test, in order to try and find potential rational roots. Problem is.....Not quite sure we just get nice and clean numbers for roots.
