- Sketching the Graph of a Polynomial Function In Exercises 71-84, sketch the graph of the function by (a) applying the Leading Coefficient Test, (b) finding the real zeros of the polynomial, (c) plotting sufficient solution points, and (d) drawing a continuous curve through the points. f(x)=48x2+3x4arrow_forwardFinding a Polynomial Function In Exercises 53-62, find a polynomial function that has the given zeros. (There are many correct answers.) 2,5arrow_forwardFinding Real Zeros of a Polynomial Function In Exercises 33-48, (a) find all real zeros of the polynomial function, (b) determine whether the multiplicity of each zero is even or odd, (c) determine the maximum possible number of turning points of the graph of the function, and (d) use a graphing utility to graph the function and verify your answers. f(t)=2t42t240arrow_forward
- Approximating Zeros In Exercises 71-76, (a) use the zero or root feature of a graphing utility to approximate the zeros of the function accurate to three decimal places, (b) determine the exact value of one of the zeros, and (c) use synthetic division to verify your result from part (b), and then factor the polynomial completely. h(t)=t32t27t+2arrow_forwardTrue or False? In Exercises 99-102, determine whether the statement is true or false. Justify your answer. If f is a polynomial function of x such that f(2)=6andf(6)=6, then f has at most one real zero between x=2andx=6.arrow_forwardFill in the blanks. The Theorem states that if fis a polynomial function such thatf(a)f(b),then, in the interval [a,b],ftakes on every value between f(a)and f(b)arrow_forward
- Fill in the blanks. When x=a is a zero of a polynomial function f, the three statements below are true. (a) x=ais a of the polynomial equation f(x)=0. (b) is a factor of the polynomial f(x). (c) (a,0)is an of the graph of f.arrow_forwardFill in the blanks. When a real zero xa of a polynomial functionfis of even multiplicity, the graph of fthe x-axisatx=a,and when it is of odd multiplicity, the graph of f the x-axisatx=a.arrow_forwardFinding a Polynomial Function with Given Zeros In Exercises 6570, find the polynomial function f with real coefficients that has the given degree, zeros, and function value.
