What is the function of this

f(x) = x⁴ + 2x³ - 3x² - 4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

we have 3 turnarounds and no negative y values (so, it should be a function based on x⁴), 2 of these turnarounds are also directly on the x-axis (y=0).

f(0) = 4

f(1) = 0

f(-2) = 0

an equation based on x⁴ would have 4 interceptions with the x-axis. since we have only 2 here, then there must be 2 pairs of equal interceptions.

based on the known x-interceptions (x=1, x=-2) we can start with the approach

(x-1)(x+2)

this world give us a quadratic equation (based on x²).

the trick is now to get this to x⁴ without adding additional x-interceptions. that is done by simply "reusing" the ones we already used.

(x-1)(x+2)(x-1)(x+2) = (x-1)²(x+2)²

(x-1)²(x+2)² = (x² - 2x + 1)(x² + 4x + 4) =

x⁴ - 2x³ + x² + 4x³ - 8x² + 4x + 4x² - 8x + 4 =

x⁴ + 2x³ - 3x² - 4x + 4

center (1,3) with radius 6

step-by-step explanation:

we must complete the square to find the center and radius of the circle.

first make sure the x and y squared terms have 1 as their coefficients. we also make sure x and y terms together.

we now create space between the x and y terms with parenthesis.

we complete the square by taking the middle terms -2x and the -6y - divide each and square them.

we add the squares to both sides.

simplify.

and write the quadratics in factored form.

the center is (h,k) or (1,3). the radius is the square root of 36 which is 6.
