Part a: what is the initial value of the function? what does it mean in the context of the situation? part b: what is the rate of change of the function? what does it mean in the context of situation

Initial value = 10, slope = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial value is the point where x takes its lowest value. In this case it is x = 0 and y = 10. Rate of change is the slope at a given point. Because this is a first order equation graph the slope is always the same. And in this case it is 4 as for every 1 unit of x the y goes 4.

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
