Find the zeros of f(x) = x^3 - 4x^2 - 25x +100
4, 5, -5
400
Look at the graph. Tell me three things about graph
-1; 2 are zeros x = 2 is a repeated zero the repeat zero has an even exponent because it touches x -intercept. the graph is a degree of 3
400
Write f(x) = d(x)*q(x) + r if f(x) = x^3 + x^2 - x - 2 and the divisor is (x -2)
x^3 + x^2 - x - 2 = (x - 2)(x^2 + 3x + 5) + 8
500
The number of horsepower y required to overcome wind drag on a car is approx. by y = .002s^2 +.005s - .029, where is s is the speed of the car. Estimate the maximum speed of the car if the power required to overcome wind drag does not exceed 10 horsepower.
approx 70mph (69.57)

f(x)= - (x-1)(x+2)(x-3)^2 name end behavior name zeros are there repeated zeros? if so, what are they?what do they mean?
Both left and right fall 1,-2,3 yes; 3; it means the graph touches at x-int but does not pass through
500
