All right, we have f of x is this 1 10th x plus 2 squared and then x minus 1 cubed.
00:11
And all i need to do is look at these exponents for my degree.
00:15
So the degree is the sum of those exponents.
00:17
So 2 plus 3 gives me 5.
00:21
Now what i care about next, i kind of want to look at the graph, but an odd degree with a positive leading coefficient, i'm actually going to answer the second question there.
00:34
That as x goes to positive infinity, a positive leading coefficient always ends up into the right.
00:44
But then the odd has opposite end behavior.
00:49
I'll just write eb.
00:51
So if that was positive infinity here, the one before that, and really i was supposed to circle all of that, the one before that should go to negative infinity because it's the opposite.
01:05
And they had it set up as x goes to negative infinity first.
01:10
So those are that first blank.
01:13
Now letter b, that's letter a, letter b, they wanted the zeros.
01:19
So zeros or x -intercepts are the opposite of these numbers and the multiplicity is the exponent.
01:28
So the multiplicity would be 2 there.
01:30
And same with the next one, the x -intercept is the opposite of that negative 1 and a multiplicity is the exponent of 3.
01:41
Now what's the y -intercept? hopefully i answered all those.
01:45
Oh, it also wants to touch or cross.
01:47
So if you have an even multiplicity, then it just touches.
01:51
I don't know if you have to give a reason, but it's because it's even.
01:55
And if you have an odd multiplicity, then it crosses.
02:01
And so one more thing, it's letter c is the y -intercept is always when x equals zero.
02:08
And it's a little tricky because you actually have to do zero plus two is two squared, which is four.
02:15
And then zero minus one is negative one cubed stays negative one.
02:20
And so you're looking at negative four tenths or negative 0 .4.
02:23
And now when you look at the graph of this, so that's letter d, i'm just going to make kind of a lame y -intercept here at zero, negative 0 .4...
