Polynomial and Rational Functions
Given the exponential function raised to the power of three fifths plus seven, how can you construct a model whose asymptote lies three units higher than the original function without altering the rate of growth or decay?
R(t) = E^{(t/5)} + 7
R(t) = E^{(t/5)} + 10
R(t) = E^{(t/5)} - 7
R(t) = E^{(t/5)} - 10
Which of the following angles is classified as an obtuse angle?
120 degrees
60 degrees
90 degrees
30 degrees
Considering , what feature must we look for in order to determine if this function has an invertible section?
An interval where passes both vertical and horizontal line tests ensuring it's both injective (one-to-one) and surjective (onto).
Zero coefficients for at least half of the terms in to reduce complexity for inversion purposes.
Symmetry about -axis or origin so as to confine it within a range where inversion may occur effectively.
What is the maximum number of real zeros a fourth-degree polynomial can have?
Exactly one
Two or four only
4
Unlimited
When graphing a polynomial function, what feature indicates a real zero of the function?
The graph touches but does not cross the y-axis at this point.
The graph has a maximum at this point.
The graph crosses the x-axis at this point.
The graph has an inflection point at this area.
Which type of method typically involves using a calculator to find approximate solutions for higher-degree equations?
Algebraic methods
Graphical methods
Analytical methods
Numerical methods
How can one transform the basic quadratic function to produce a graph that opens downward has vertex ?
H(x) = a(x + 5)^2 + 7
H(x) = -a(x + 5)^2 - 7
H(x) = a(x - 5)^2 - 7
H(x) = -a(x - 5)^2 + 7
