ALGERBA 2 HELP PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZ FAN AND MEDAL!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1st point: ___6___ 2nd point:___-2___ 3rd point: ___-7___ Using the points above as zeros, construct the polynomial function, f(x), that will be the path of your roller coaster. Show all of your work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2Using both fundamental Theorem and Descartes` rule of signs, prove to the construction foreman that your funtion matches your graph. Use complete sentences. Solve for the y–intercept for your function, f(x), and then construct a rough graph of your roller coaster. If your y–intercept is off the graph, give the coordinates of the y–intercep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First, think of "the foundation" as being the x-axis. In other wordsd, the roller coaster touches the x- axis at -7, at -2 and at 6, but does not go beneath the x-axis. Thus, you automatically have three on the curve formed by the roller coaster. Are you aware that a root of 6 corresponds to the factor (6,0) of the polynomial in question? What are the other two factors, following this pattern? You can obtain the polynomial in question by multiplying out the three factors mentioned. Try this, and then get back here to request some feedback. Good luck!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?? im so lost lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look you have these 3 points that the rail touch but dont go beneath them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have (6,0) and (-2,0) and (-7,0) what do i do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

great, now we need factors , right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we search about the roots, to make the factors, which will allow us to make our polynomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i would get x^2-4x-12??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you just multiply right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that equation involves only 2 factors we need 3 factors

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do i do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we search for the third factor which is (x+7)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we multiply them to get our function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^3+x^2-28x-12x-84??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you there??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, now we do the approval by both fundamental Theorem and Descartes` rule of signs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats that?? lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u dont know how to prove ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no thats why i need help im so lost with this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well this kind of theorms are rarely used, i mean they used in a specific fields, i dont know actually what they are but i think you should see your books or any other resource to make it more clear to you, and sorry for not helping you in the most important part o the question but i assure you that our previous work was right, cause making a polynomial equation is the same through all of the fields, and im sorry again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx wb the 3rd part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i do it lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think the third part is simply a graph to the function we made but you have to find the y-interception points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first of all, what does y-interception points means ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the points on the vertical axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right, so when the point is found on the vertical axis, its x-coordination will be ..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand youre ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look lets leave our question for a minute, which one of these points is on the vertical axis : P1(2,0) . P2(0,4) . P3(1,2) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why do you chose 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk i dont remember isnt it rise over run

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah so its 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why do you chose 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause you move to the right 0 and up 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in other words, its x-coordinate is zero and its y-coordinate is 4 so the y-interception points have an x-coordinate equals to ZERO

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so just plug x=0 to your polynomial to find it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -84??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you have a graphing program ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you have a graphing program ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no and i cant use wolphram alpha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you cant ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im taking algebra 2 online and were not suppose to i got in trouble last time i used it to graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but you are now kindda online !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?? que

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i used it well see what happens lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol so now for 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have skype right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah hold on thouhg lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold im im talking to someone lol its important

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

the link does not work.

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

listen. i am sorry, but here it is very late and i have to work tomorrow. good luck.
