Let's analyze each question one by one.
1. Compare the functions \( f(x) = x^3 + 1 \) and \( g(x) = x + 1 \). Which of the following statements is true about the intercepts of the functions?
- Calculating the intercepts:
-
For \( f(x) \):
- y-intercept (when \( x = 0 \)): \( f(0) = 0^3 + 1 = 1 \) → \( (0, 1) \)
- x-intercept (when \( f(x) = 0 \)): Solve \( x^3 + 1 = 0 \) → \( x^3 = -1 \) → \( x = -1 \) → \( (-1, 0) \)
-
For \( g(x) \):
- y-intercept (when \( x = 0 \)): \( g(0) = 0 + 1 = 1 \) → \( (0, 1) \)
- x-intercept (when \( g(x) = 0 \)): Solve \( x + 1 = 0 \) → \( x = -1 \) → \( (-1, 0) \)
-
Based on this:
- Both functions have the same y-intercept at \( (0, 1) \) and the same x-intercept at \( (-1, 0) \). Thus, the statement "Both functions have a y-intercept of (−1, 0) and an x-intercept of (0, 1)" is incorrect.
Correct statement: The x- and y-intercepts are the same for both functions.
2. When comparing linear, quadratic, cubic, and exponential functions, what key feature do the four function types share?
Among the choices, the correct one:
- The domain of all four function types is all real numbers.
3. Compare the graphs and determine which one could be the graph of a square root function.
The characteristic of a square root function is that it has a starting point at \( (0,0) \) and only exists for non-negative x, typically increasing in the first quadrant.
From the provided descriptions:
- The graph that fits the description of a square root function would be "A coordinate plane's x-axis ranges from negative 2 to 6 and its y-axis ranges from negative 2 to 4, both by 1-unit increments. A curve is plotted in the first quadrant. It passes through 3 marked points."
4. Compare the graphs of \( f(x) = \sqrt{x} + 1 \) and \( g(x) = \sqrt[3]{x} + 1 \). Which one of the following options is true?
- Domain:
- \( f(x) = \sqrt{x} + 1 \) has the domain \( x \geq 0 \).
- \( g(x) = \sqrt[3]{x} + 1 \) has the domain \( x , \in , (-\infty, \infty) \).
This means the graphs indeed have different domains.
5. Compare the graphs of \( f(x) = 2\sqrt{x} \) and \( g(x) = 2\sqrt[3]{x} \).
- \( f(x) = 2\sqrt{x} \) has a domain of \( x \geq 0 \).
- \( g(x) = 2\sqrt[3]{x} \) has a domain of \( x \in (-\infty, \infty) \).
Thus, the correct response is: The graphs have different domains.
In summary, the answers are:
- The x- and y-intercepts are the same for both functions.
- The domain of all four function types is all real numbers.
- A curve is plotted in the first quadrant.
- The graphs have different domains.
- The graphs have different domains.
