Question

analyze the graph of f(x)=(x+3)x-1)^2
x and y itercepts; end behavior; and maximum number of turning points

Answer 1

repost with balanced parentheses, so we know what we're working with.

Answer 2

sorry-operating on no sleep for at least 24 hours!
f(x)=(x+3)(x-1)^2

analyze x and y intercepts; end behavior and maximum number of turning points.

Answer 3

y-intercept at x=0: 3*1=3
x-intercepts: -3,1,1
since two roots at x=1, graph will be tangent there, not cross.

x gets large, y gets large; degree 3
degree 3, max turning points: 2

Answer 4

Thanks, Steve -

I cn never get my graphs right - I get all the work, but to draw?! forget it.
