Instructions: Use algebraic / reasoning methods where possible (or your graphing calc!) to sketch each indicated graph. Then, follow the instructions give. The first is already done.
1.
(a) Sketch the line f ( x ) = 6x 3 , label the x and y intercepts. (b) On the number line below, label the x-intercept with a solid dot ( ). This is a called a critical value of the function.
Graph is below -axis Graph is above -axis
(c) Your number line above has been split into two intervals by the critical value. Indicate the sign, pos (+) or neg (-) for each of the two intervals.
2.
(a) Sketch the curve f (x ) = x 2 x 6 , label the x and y intercepts. (b) On the number line below, label each x-intercept with a solid dot ( ).
(c) Your number line above has been split into three intervals by the critical value. Indicate the sign, pos (+) or neg (-) for each of the two intervals.
3.
(a) Sketch the curve f ( x ) = x (x + 2)(x 3) , label the x and y intercepts. (b) On the number line below, label the x-intercepts with a solid dot ( ).
(c) Your number line above has been split into four intervals by the critical value. Indicate the sign, pos (+) or neg (-) for each of the two intervals.
4.
(a) Sketch the curve f (x ) = x 2 , label the x and y intercepts. (b) On the number line below, label the x-intercept with a solid dot ( ).
(c) Your number line above has been split into two intervals by the critical value. Indicate the sign, pos (+) or neg (-) for each of the two intervals.
5.
(b) On the number line below, label the x-intercept with a solid dot ( ) and the undefined value with a hollow dot (o).
(c) Your number line above has been split into intervals by the critical value. Indicate the sign, pos (+) or neg (-) for each of the two intervals.
6.
, label the x and y intercepts. (b) On the number line below, label the x-intercept with a solid dot ( ) and the undefined value with a hollow dot (o).
(c) Your number line above has been split into intervals by the critical value. Indicate the sign, pos (+) or neg (-) for each of the two intervals.
(a) y = x 3 7 x 6
Second factor (x+1) As is final factor, (x+2) is also positive SO, pos times a pos times a pos isPOSITIVE!
(b) f (x ) =
x 2 + 2x 15 x 1
(c) f (x ) =
x 2 + 2x 15 x 3
(d) f ( x ) =
(1 x )(x + 2) 4 (x 5)3
(e) f (x ) =
(2 x ) 2 x 2 25
