Determine the total number of roots of each polynomial function. g(x) = (x - 5)2 + 2x3

g(x) = (x - 5)^2 + 2x^3

At the root this function is equal to 0

(x - 5)^2 + 2x^3= 0

Rearrange:

(x - 5)^2 = -2x^3

Now if you plot these two functions you need to check how many times they intersect. For this you do not need to be precise just scetch approximately.

If you do that, you will see that they meet once. I cannot really use this site to plot, but you can use other tools for that if you do not know how to do it.

y = - 6

step-by-step explanation:

given the point (- 2, y) lies on the graph then it is a solution of it's equation.

substitute x = - 2 into the equation for value of y

y = 3(- 2) = 3 × - 2 = - 6

the point on the graph is (- 2, 6)

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
