Hey Can you help with some math? ? @loser66
i can help if you want
Yes thank you
What is your question?
Theres lots of parts, so ill post them one part at a time
Part A The first part of Ray and Kelsey's roller coaster is a curved pattern that can be represented by a polynomial function. Ray and Kelsey are working to graph a third-degree polynomial function that represents the first pattern in the coaster plan. Ray says the third-degree polynomial has 4 intercepts. Kelsey argues the function can have as many as 3 zeros only. Is there a way for the both of them to be correct? Explain your answer. Kelsey has a list of possible functions. Pick one of the g(x) functions below and then describe to Kelsey the key features of g(x), including the end behavior, y-intercept, and zeros. g(x) = x3 − x2 − 4x + 4 g(x) = x3 + 2x2 − 9x − 18 g(x) = x3 − 3x2 − 4x + 12 g(x) = x3 + 2x2 − 25x − 50 g(x) = 2x3 + 14x2 − 2x − 14 Create a graph of the polynomial function you selected from Question 2.
hold up im doin it
Ookay
I apologize I cannot help you with this I was never good at polynomial. But @jcoury will probably help you.
Its okay, thankyou
a third degree polynomial can have at most three x intercepts and always has one y intercept. So it can have 4 intercepts. And three zeroes . they are both correct
So thats what i put for he first part of Ray and Kelsey's roller coaster is a curved pattern that can be represented by a polynomial function. Ray and Kelsey are working to graph a third-degree polynomial function that represents the first pattern in the coaster plan. Ray says the third-degree polynomial has 4 intercepts. Kelsey argues the function can have as many as 3 zeros only. Is there a way for the both of them to be correct? Explain your answer. ?
able to cross the x three time and the y once or depending where the exponents are either on x or y it can cross the y three times and the x once if you are looking for it crossing any and all axis (x and y) then they cross 4 times if a specific axis then it depends on the axis in shorter words the girl is only looking at one axis and the boy all
huh?
hold on
what?
they are both right but im trying to find out what graph
They didnt give us any graphs
thats not what i mean basically pick an equation and create a corresponding graph
ooh idk :\
okay pick an equation. When you picked one tell me.
g(x) = x3 − x2 − 4x + 4 the first one?
Btw could you fan me?
you may want to pick the second graph though
Why?
i dont get any of this lol
