@ganeshie8 Can you help with one more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A function is shown below: f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 - x - 2 Part A: What are the factors of f(x)? Show your work. Part B: What are the zeros of f(x)? Show your work. Part C: What are the steps you would follow to graph f(x)? Describe the end behavior of the graph of f(x).

@Elsa213 can you help please?

Part A: Factor Part B: Finish solving after factoring Part C: Plug in any values for x, get the y values, re-write them as (x,y) coordinates and graph.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay, and the factors arrree (x+1) (x-1) (x+2) it seems?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then the zeros would be -1, 1, -2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Elsa210 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does this sound good for part c then? "To graph the f(x) I will plot the zeros, then the y-intercept, and draw a parabola through the points. In the end behavior, the graph falls to the left and rises to the right."?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does the silence mean yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Elsa210 ? -_-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it does

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yayyyyy :P
