3.3.16 (was 3.2.6). Key pts and behavior: far left decr, far right incr, zeros at -10, 5, 0, 5, peaks at (-8,-4), (-2, 6), (2, 10). Local min, max among listed points.List the intervals on which the function is decreasing.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

** The function decreases until reaching the local min at (-8, -4), then increases until reaching the local max at (-2, 6).

The function then decreases to its local min at (5, 0), after which it continues increasing.

So the graph is decreasing on (-infinity, -8), on (-2, 0) and on (2, 5). **

** The function intersects the x axis at (-1, 0) and (1, 0), and the y axis at (0, 2).

The function decreases from (-3,3) to (-1,0) so it is decreasing on the interval (-3, -1).

The function decreases from (0, 2) to (1, 0) so it is decreasing on the interval (0, 1).

The function increases from (-1,0) to (0, 2) so it is increasing on the interval (-1, 0).

The function ioncreases from (1,0) to (3, 3) so it is increasing on the interval (1, 3).

The domain of the function is the set of possible x values, so the domain is -3 <= x <= 3, written as the interval [-3, 3].

The range of the function is the set of possible y values, so the range is 0 <= y <= 3, written as the interval [0, 3].

The function is symmetric about the y axis, with f(-x) = f(x) for every x (e.g., f(-3) = f(3) = 3; f(-1) = f(1) = 0; etc.). So the function is even. **

** The function intersects the x axis at (-2.25, 0) and (3, 0), and the y axis at (0, 1).

The function decreases from (2,2) to (3,0) so it is decreasing on the interval (2,3).

The function increases from (-3,-2) to (-2, 1) so it is increasing on the interval (-3, -2).

The function ioncreases from (0, 1) to (2, 2) so it is increasing on the interval (0, 2).

The function value does not change between (-2, 1) and (0, 1) so the function is constant on (-2, 0).

The domain of the function is the set of possible x values, so the domain is -3 <= x <= 3, written as the interval [-3, 3].

The range of the function is the set of possible y values, so the range is -2 <= y <= 2, written as the interval [-2, 2].

The function is not symmetric about the y axis, with f(-x) not equal to f(x) for many values of x; e.g., f(-3) is -2 and f(3) is 0. So the function is not even.

x = 3 shows us that the function is not odd either, since for an odd function f(-x) = -f(x) and for x = 3 this is not the case. **

3.3.46 (was 3.2.36) (f(x) - f(1) ) / (x - 1) for f(x) = x - 2 x^2What is your expression for (f(x) - f(1) ) / (x - 1) and how did you get this expression?How did you use your result to get the ave rate of change from x = 1 to x = 2, and what is your value?What is the equation of the secant line from the x = 1 point to the x = 2 point?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

=x-2x^2+1/x-1

=(2x+1) (-x+1)/x-1

=(2x+1) (-x+1)/-x+1

=-2x+1

rate of change from 1 to 2

f(2)=2-2(4)=-6

f(1)=1-2=-1

-6+1/2-1=-5/1=-5 is the slope

for secant line containing (1,-1)

y+1=-5(X-1)

y+1=-5X+5

y=-5X+4

** f(x) = f(1) = (x-2x^2) - (-1) = -2 x^2 + x + 1.

This factors into (2x + 1) ( -x + 1).

Since -x + 1 = - ( x - 1) we obtain

(f(x) - f(1) ) / ( x - 1) = (2x + 1) ( -x + 1) / (x - 1) = (2x + 1) * -1 = - (2x + 1).

A secant line runs from one point of the graph to another. The secant line here runs from the graph point (1, f(1) ) to the graph ponit ( x , f(x) ), and the expression we have just obtained is the slope of the secant line.

For x = 2 the expression -(2x + 1) gives us ( f(2) - f(1) ) / ( 2 - 1), which is the slope of the line from (1, f(1) ) to (2, f(2)) .

-(2 * 2 + 1) = -5, which is the desired slope.

The secant line contains the point (1, -1) and has slope 5. So the equation of the secant line is

(y - (-1) ) = -5 * (x - 1), which we solve to obtain

y = -5 x + 4. **

3.3.50 (was 3.2.40). h(x) = 3 x^3 + 5Is the function even, odd or neither? How did you determine algebraically that this is the case?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

h(x)=3x^3+5

h(x)=3(-x)^3+5

h(x)=-3x^3+5

It is not odd or even because h(x) doesn't match h(-x) or h(-x) doesn't match -h(x).

confidence assessment: 1

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

23:36:16

** h(x) = 3x^3 +5

h(-x) = 3-x^3 +5

= -3x^3 + 5

h(x) is not equal to h(-x), which means that the function is not even.

h(x) is not equal to -h(-x), since 3 x^3 + 5 is not equal to - ( -3x^3 + 5) = 3 x^3 - 5. So the function is not odd either. **

ok
