Chapter Task:
Graph it! The polynomial function f(x) = ar^3x - 63 + 152x - b has one of its zeros at x = 5 and passes through the point (2,560, 7). What might the graph of f(x) look like? Use the given information to determine the values of a and b. Use the given information to state one of the factors of f(x). Determine all the other factors of f(x). Use the factors to determine the zeros of f(x). Determine the end behaviors of f(x). Determine the y-intercept of f(x). Use all the characteristics you determined to sketch a possible graph of f(x). Verify your results using graphing technology. Discuss any differences between the graph and your sketch.
