The graph of the invertible function g is shown on the grid below.
What is the value of g^-1(-8)

=======================================================

Explanation:

The result of is the same as trying to find x in

Draw a horizontal line through -8 on the y axis. This horizontal line intersects the curve at point P. From point P, move upward until you reach the x axis. You should get to 7 on the x axis. Therefore, the solution to is . In other words, . This ultimately means

Refer to the diagram below.

- 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4

step-by-step explanation:

each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor

x²(- 2x² + 4x - 1) - 3x(- 2x² + 4x - 1) + 4(- 2x² + 4x - 1) ← distribute

= - 2 + 4x³ - x² + 6x³ - 12x² + 3x -8x² + 16x - 4

collect like terms

= - 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4 ← in standard form
