- Describing Function Behavior In Exercises 33-40, determine the open intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant. fx=x33x2+2arrow_forwardConsider the function f ( x ) = | x − 5 | + | x + 7 | . (a) Write the function f ( x ) as a piece-wise defined function, where the pieces are linear functions.(That is, write f ( x ) using cases, as in Example 4 on page 6, but without using absolute values.) (b) Use part (a) to sketch the graph of the function (by hand).arrow_forwardUse calculus to show that the function, f(x) = x³ + 3x – 6, has exactly three zeros (where f(x) = 0) and that one zero is in (1, 2). i) Sketch the graph of f(x). Determine whether f(x) is ii) even or odd or neither; iii) decreasing or increasing or neither.arrow_forward
- Consider the graphs of f(x ) and g (x ). For each function resulting from the operation, decide whether the resulting function is even, odd, or neither even nor odd. a)f(x )+ g(x) b)f(x )- g(x) c)f(x ) x g(x) d) f(x) / g(x)arrow_forwardThe function ƒwhere ƒ(x)=x² -4, is defined for all real values of x (The domain can be any real number) (a) Find the values of f(-3), ƒ(-2), ƒ(-1), ƒ(0), ƒ(1), f(2), ƒ(3). Hence complete the table -3 -2 -1 1 2 3 f(x) -3 (b) Plot the points (you can use graph paper) and draw the graph of f(x)=x² – 4 (c) Use your graph to write down the range of y= f(x). (Remember you can input any value of x.) (d) Write down the solutions of the equation x² – 4=0. That is the values of x for which ƒ(x)=0 (e) Explain why ƒ is a many-to-one function and not a one-to-one function.arrow_forwardConsider functions f : {1, 2,3, 4,5} {0, 1,2,..., 9}. (a) How many of these functions are strictly increasing? Explain. (A function is strictly increasing provided if a < b, then f(a) < f(b).) (b) How many of the functions are non-decreasing? Explain. (A function is non-decreasing provided if a < b, then f(a) < f(b).)arrow_forward

Squares of side length x cm will be cut out of each corner, and then the ends and sides will be folded up to form a box with an open top. (a) Draw a labeled sketch. (b) Express the volume V of the box as a function of x. V(x) = (c) Give the domain of V in interval notation. Domain= L (d) Find the length L, width W, and height x of the resulting box that maximizes the volume. (Assume that W ≤ L. That is, assume that the width W of the box is the side formed from the shorter side of cardboard, and the length L of the box is the side formed from the longer side.) - = W = X = cm Maximum volume = (e) Find the maximum volume of the box. cm cm cm³ cm³.arrow_forward
