Question

Describe the graph of the function f(x) = x3 − 18x2 + 101x − 180. Include the y-intercept, x-intercepts, and the shape of the graph.

PLEASE HELP :)

Answer 1

y-intercept can be found by finding y when x is 0
x-intercept can be found by finding x when y is 0

Answer 2

would I set it equal to 0?

Answer 3

I'm not sure which variable you are talking about
setting y to 0 and solving for x will give you your x-intercepts
setting x to 0 and solve for y will give you your y-intercepts

Answer 4

so would I do 0 = x3 − 18x2 + 101x − 180 ?

Answer 5

to find the x-intercepts yes
