5.1 Quadratic Functions

1.

The path passes through the origin and has vertex at $\left(-4,7\right),$ so $h(x)=–\frac{7}{16}{(x+4)}^2+7.$ To make the shot, $h\left(-7.5\right)$ would need to be about 4 but $h(–7.5)\approx 1.64;$ he doesn’t make it.

2.

$g(x)=x^2-6x+13$ in general form; $g(x)={(x-3)}^2+4$ in standard form

3.

The domain is all real numbers. The range is $f(x)\ge \frac{8}{11},$ or $\left[\frac{8}{11},\infty \right).$

4.

y-intercept at (0, 13), No $x\text{-}$ intercepts

5.2 Power Functions and Polynomial Functions

1.

$f(x)$ is a power function because it can be written as $f(x)=8x^5.$ The other functions are not power functions.

2.

As $x$ approaches positive or negative infinity, $f\left(x\right)$ decreases without bound: as $x\to \pm \infty , f(x)\to -\infty$ because of the negative coefficient.

3.

The degree is 6. The leading term is $-x^6.$ The leading coefficient is $-1.$

4.

As $x\to \infty , f(x)\to -\infty ; as x\to -\infty , f(x)\to -\infty .$ It has the shape of an even degree power function with a negative coefficient.

5.

The leading term is $0.2x^3,$ so it is a degree 3 polynomial. As $x$ approaches positive infinity, $f\left(x\right)$ increases without bound; as $x$ approaches negative infinity, $f\left(x\right)$ decreases without bound.

6.

y-intercept $(0,0);$ x-intercepts $(0,0),(–2,0),$ and $(5,0)$

7.

There are at most 12 $x\text{-}$ intercepts and at most 11 turning points.

8.

The end behavior indicates an odd-degree polynomial function; there are 3 $x\text{-}$ intercepts and 2 turning points, so the degree is odd and at least 3. Because of the end behavior, we know that the lead coefficient must be negative.

9.

The $x\text{-}$ intercepts are $(2,0),(-1,0),$ and $(5,0),$ the y-intercept is $(0,\text{2}),$ and the graph has at most 2 turning points.

5.3 Graphs of Polynomial Functions

1.

y-intercept $(0,0);$ x-intercepts $(0,0),(–5,0),(2,0),$ and $(3,0)$

2.

The graph has a zero of –5 with multiplicity 3, a zero of -1 with multiplicity 2, and a zero of 3 with multiplicity 4.

3.

4.

Because $f$ is a polynomial function and since $f(1)$ is negative and $f(2)$ is positive, there is at least one real zero between $x=1$ and $x=2.$

5.

$f(x)=-\frac{1}{8}{(x-2)}^3{(x+1)}^2(x-4)$

6.

The minimum occurs at approximately the point $(0,-6.5),$ and the maximum occurs at approximately the point $(3.5,7).$

5.4 Dividing Polynomials

1.

$4x^2-8x+15-\frac{78}{4x+5}$

2.

$3x^3-3x^2+21x-150+\frac{1,090}{x+7}$

3.

5.5 Zeros of Polynomial Functions

1.

$f(-3)=-412$

2.

The zeros are 2, –2, and –4.

3.

There are no rational zeros.

4.

The zeros are $\text{–4, }\frac{1}{2},\text{and 1}\text{.}$

5.

$f(x)=-\frac{1}{2}{x}^3+\frac{5}{2}{x}^2-2x+10$

6.

There must be 4, 2, or 0 positive real roots and 0 negative real roots. The graph shows that there are 2 positive real zeros and 0 negative real zeros.

5.6 Rational Functions

1.

End behavior: as $x\to \pm \infty , f(x)\to 0;$ Local behavior: as $x\to 0, f(x)\to \infty$ (there are no x- or y-intercepts)

2.

The function and the asymptotes are shifted 3 units right and 4 units down. As $x\to 3,f(x)\to \infty ,$ and as $x\to \pm \infty ,f(x)\to -4.$

The function is $f(x)=\frac{1}{{(x-3)}^2}-4.$

3.

$\frac{12}{11}$

4.

The domain is all real numbers except $x=1$ and $x=5.$

5.

Removable discontinuity at $x=5.$ Vertical asymptotes: $x=0,x=1.$

6.

Vertical asymptotes at $x=2$ and $x=–3;$ horizontal asymptote at $y=4.$

7.

For the transformed reciprocal squared function, we find the rational form. $f(x)=\frac{1}{{(x-3)}^2}-4=\frac{1-4{(x-3)}^2}{{(x-3)}^2}=\frac{1-4(x^2-6x+9)}{(x-3)(x-3)}=\frac{-4x^2+24x-35}{x^2-6x+9}$

Because the numerator is the same degree as the denominator we know that as $x\to \pm \infty , f(x)\to -4; \text{so} y=–4$ is the horizontal asymptote. Next, we set the denominator equal to zero, and find that the vertical asymptote is $x=3,$ because as $x\to 3,f(x)\to \infty .$ We then set the numerator equal to 0 and find the x-intercepts are at $(2.5,0)$ and $(3.5,0).$ Finally, we evaluate the function at 0 and find the y-intercept to be at $\left(0,\frac{-35}{9}\right).$

8.

Horizontal asymptote at $y=\frac{1}{2}.$ Vertical asymptotes at $x=1 \text{and} x=3.$ y-intercept at $\left(0,\frac{4}{3}.\right)$

x-intercepts at $(2,0) \text{and }(–2,0).$ $(–2,0)$ is a zero with multiplicity 2, and the graph bounces off the x-axis at this point. $(2,0)$ is a single zero and the graph crosses the axis at this point.
