Question

Below is a statement of a theorem about certain cubic equations. For this theorem,brepresents a real number.

Theorem 1 if f is a cubic function of the form f(x) =x3−x+b and b >1,the the function has f has exactly one x-intercept.

Theorem 2 If f and g are functions with g(x) =k·f(x), where k is a nonzero real number, then f and g have exactly the same x-intercepts.

Using only these theorems and some simple algebraic manipulations, what can be concluded about the functions given by the following formulas?

(a)f(x) =x3−x+ 11.    (b)g(x) =x3+x+ 11.   (c)h(x) =−x3+x−5. (d)r(x) =x4−x+ 11

(e)k(x) = 2x3−2x+ 11
