The graph of F(x) shown below resembles the graph of G(x)= x4, but it has
been vertically stretched. Which of the following could be the equation of F(X)
?



Sagot :

Answer:

  • x = 0.

Equation:

  • [tex]g*(x)-(x^4)=0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

  • Pull out like factors:
  • [tex]gx - x^4 = x * (g - x^3)[/tex]

Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:

  • Factoring: [tex]g - x^3[/tex]
  • Theory : A difference of two perfect cubes,  a^3 - b^3 can be factored into
  •              (a-b) • (a^2 +ab +b^2)
  • Proof :  (a-b)•(a^2+ab+b^2) =
  •            a^3+a^2b+ab^2-ba^2-b^2a-b^3 =
  •            a^3+(a^2b-ba^2)+(ab^2-b^2a)-b^3 =
  •            a^3+0+0-b^3 =
  •            a^3-b^3
  • Check :  g^1 is not a cube !!
  • Ruling : Binomial cannot be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes

Equation at end of step 1:

  • [tex]x * (g - x^3) = 0[/tex]

Step 2:

  •  A product of several terms equals zero.
  • When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.
  • We shall now solve each term = 0 separately
  • In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product
  • Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

  • Solve [tex]g - x^3 = 0[/tex]
  • In this type of equations, having more than one variable (unknown), you have to specify for which variable you want the equation solved.
  • We shall not handle this type of equations at this time.

Solution:

  • x=0.
