Consider the function f(x)=x3+3x2−18x−40.f\left(x\right)=x^3+3x^2-18x-40.   Select all that are true of this function. (Hint: it might help to first sketch a graph of  f(x)f\left(x\right)  ).

a)

As x→±∞,f(x)→∞.x\rightarrow\pm\infty,f\left(x\right)\rightarrow\infty.  

b)

As x→∞,f(x)→∞.x\rightarrow\infty,f\left(x\right)\rightarrow\infty.  

c)

As x→−∞,f(x)→−∞.x\rightarrow-\infty,f\left(x\right)\rightarrow-\infty.  

d)

As  x→±∞,f(x)→−∞.x\rightarrow\pm\infty,f\left(x\right)\rightarrow-\infty.  

e)

As  x→∞,f(x)→−∞.x\rightarrow\infty,f\left(x\right)\rightarrow-\infty.  

4.

Which factor has a multiplicity of 2 of (x + 2)(x - 1)(x + 3)(x - 2)2? What does this tell you about the graph?

a)

(x + 2), and it will go straight through the x-intercept

b)

(x - 1), and it will make a parabola shape at the x-intercept.

c)

(x +3), and it will go straight through the x-intercept.

d)

(x - 2), and it will make a parabola shape at the x-intercept.
