MA111 Homework #1
The homework is due Friday,
August 31, A.D. 2007 at the beginning of class.
Let f(x)
= x3 - 2x2-5 x+6.
1.
Plot the graph of y=f(x) over an appropriate domain.
2. When does the graph of y=f(x) cross the
x-axis? Show the equation to be solved as well as the solution.
3. Plot y=-f(x) and
y=f(-x) over appropriate domains.
4. Where
do the graphs of f(x) and -f(x) intersect? Show the
equation to be solved as well as the solution.
5. Where do the
graphs of f(x) and f(-x) intersect? Show the
equation to be solved as well as the solution.
6. At what points
is the y-coordinate of the graph of y=f(x) the same
as the x-coordinate? Show the equation to be solved as well as the
solution.
