B.
H (t) = a(x − k )(x − 6)(x − 7) 3 = a(8 − k )(8 − 6)(8 − 7)
5 = a(4 − k )(4 − 6)(4 − 7) 3 = [2(8 − k )5] ÷ [6(4 − k )]
5 = 6a(4 − k ) 18(4 − k ) = 80 − 10k)
5 ÷ [6(4 − k )] = a − 8k = 8
k = −1
5 ÷ [6(4 − {− 1})] = a
1/6 = a ∴​ ​ H (t) = (1/6)(x + 1)(x − 6)(x − 7)

C.

Find​ ​IRC​ ​at​ ​5​ ​:​ ​-x​4​+2x​2​-5x+1

I RC = lim [f (x + h) − f (x)] ÷ h
h→0
I RC = lim [− (x + h)4 + 2(x + h)2 − 5(x + h) + 1 + x4 − 2x2 + 5x − 1] ÷ h
h→0
I RC = lim [(x − x − h)(x + x + h)(x2 + (x + h)2 + 2(x + h − x)(x + h + x) + 5(x − x + h)] ÷ h
h→0
Factor​ ​out​ ​negative​ ​h
I RC = lim − h [(2x + h)(x2 + (x + h)2 + 2(2x + h) + 5] ÷ h
h→0
h​ ​in​ ​numerator​ ​and​ ​denominator​ ​cancel​ ​out,​ ​limit​ ​takes​ ​effect​ ​and​ ​makes​ ​h​ ​into​ ​0
leaving​ ​only​ ​non​ ​h​ ​values​ ​into​ ​the​ ​equation
I RC = lim − [(2x)(2x2 ) + 2(2x) + 5]
h→0
I RC = 4x3 + 4x − 5

I RC(5) = 4(5)3 + 4(5) − 5
I RC(5) = − 500 + 20 − 5
I RC(5) = − 485

Creative​ ​Question:

Fully​ ​factor​​ ​x4​​ ​-​ ​17x​2​ ​+​ ​16​ ​by​ ​completing​ ​the​ ​square.

Solution:
=​ ​x4​​ ​-17x​2​ ​+​ ​16
=​ ​x4​​ ​-17x​2​ ​​ ​+​ ​25x​2​ ​-​ ​25x​2​ ​+​ ​16
=​ ​x4​​ ​+​ ​8x​2​ ​+​ ​16​ ​-​ ​25x​2
=(x​2​+4)​2​​ ​-​ ​(5x)​2
=(x​2​​ ​-​ ​5x​ ​+4)(x​2​​ ​+​ ​5x​ ​+4)
=(x-4)(x-1)(x+4)(x+1)

Challenging​ ​Question:
Prove​ ​that​ ​x​ ​+​ ​a​ ​is​ ​a​ ​factor​ ​of​ ​(x+a)​5​​ ​+​ ​(x+c)​5​​ ​+​ ​(a-c)​5
Soln:
f(-a)​ ​=​ ​0
0​ ​=(-a+a)​5​​ ​+​ ​(-a+c)​5​​ ​+​ ​(a-c)​5

0​ ​=​ ​-(a-c)​5​​ ​+​ ​(a-c)​5


0​ ​=​ ​0
Therefore,​ ​x​ ​+​ ​a​ ​is​ ​a​ ​factor.

Sebastian​ ​reflected​ ​the​ ​function​ ​f(x)​ ​=​ ​x3​​ ​ ​in​ ​the​ ​x-axis,​ ​vertically​ ​compressed​ ​it​ ​by​ ​a
factor​ ​of​ ​ 13 ,​ ​horizontally​ ​translated​ ​it​ ​15​ ​units​ ​to​ ​the​ ​right,​ ​and​ ​vertically​ ​translated​ ​it​ ​15
units​ ​up.​ ​Three​ ​points​ ​on​ ​the​ ​resulting​ ​curve​ ​are​ ​(12,​ ​-9),​ ​(15,​ ​15),​ ​and​ ​(18,​ ​-19).
Determine​ ​the​ ​original​ ​coordinates​ ​on​ ​the​ ​graph.

(x,​ ​y)​ ​ → ( 3x +​ ​15,​ ​-y​ ​+​ ​15) 12​ ​=​ ​ 3x +​ ​15;​ ​x​ ​=​ ​-1 -9​ ​=​ ​-y​ ​+​ ​15;​ ​y​ ​=​ ​24
(-1,​ ​24)​ ​ → ​ ​(12,​ ​-9) 15​ ​=​ ​ 3x +​ ​15;​ ​x​ ​=​ ​0 15​ ​=​ ​-y​ ​+​ ​15;​ ​y​ ​=​ ​0
(0,​ ​0)​ ​ → ​ ​(15,​ ​15) 18​ ​=​ ​ 3x +​ ​15;​ ​x​ ​=​ ​1 -19​ ​=​ ​-y​ ​+​ ​15;​ ​y​ ​=​ ​34
(1,​ ​34)​ ​ → ​ ​(18,​ ​-19)

Challenging​ ​Question:
Chapter​ ​3​ ​(pg​ ​170​ ​#​ ​17)
The​ ​volume​ ​of​ ​a​ ​cylindrical​ ​can​ ​is​ ​(4𝜋x​3​​ ​+​ ​28𝜋x​2​​ ​+​ ​65𝜋x​ ​+​ ​50𝜋)​ ​cm​3​.​ ​The​ ​can​ ​is​ ​(x​ ​+​ ​2)
cm​ ​high.​ ​What​ ​is​ ​the​ ​radius?

V​ ​=​ ​𝜋r​2​h x​ ​+​ ​2​ ​ √4x3 + 28x 2 + 65x + 50 r​ ​=​ ​ √4x 2 + 20x + 25
R​ ​=​ ​ √ V
πh =​ ​4x​2​​ ​+​ ​20x​ ​+​ ​25 r​ ​=​ ​ √(2x + 5) 2
​ ​=​ ​2x​ ​+​ ​5

Therefore,​ ​the​ ​radius​ ​of​ ​the​ ​cylinder​ ​is​ ​2x​ ​+​ ​5.

Creative​ ​Problem:

Sal​ ​wants​ ​to​ ​buy​ ​a​ ​gym​ ​membership.​ ​The​ ​gym​ ​membership​ ​is​ ​$35.50​ ​a​ ​month,​ ​and​ ​$3​ ​for​ ​every
visit.​ ​Without​ ​the​ ​membership​ ​is​ ​$7.50​ ​each​ ​visit.

a) Graph​ ​the​ ​two​ ​options,​ ​where​ ​f(x)​ ​is​ ​with​ ​the​ ​membership​ ​and​ ​g(x)​ ​is​ ​without​ ​the​ ​membership.

b) Looking​ ​at​ ​the​ ​graph,​ ​how​ ​many​ ​days​ ​does​ ​Sal​ ​have​ ​to​ ​go​ ​to​ ​the​ ​gym​ ​to​ ​make​ ​the
membership​ ​worthwhile?

Therefore,​ ​Sal​ ​has​ ​to​ ​go​ ​to​ ​the​ ​gym​ ​for​ ​more​ ​than​ ​7​ ​days​ ​to​ ​make​ ​the​ ​membership​ ​worthwhile

c) Solve​ ​b)​ ​algebraically​ ​to​ ​find​ ​an​ ​accurate​ ​answer

35.50​ ​+​ ​3x​ ​<​ ​7.50x Therefore,​ ​if​ ​Sal​ ​goes​ ​to​ ​the​ ​gym​ ​for​ ​more​ ​than​ ​7​ ​days,​ ​the​ ​gym
35.50​ ​<​ ​4.5x membership​ ​is​ ​worthwhile,​ ​as​ ​it​ ​is​ ​cheaper​ ​than​ ​going​ ​without
