2. Find the zeros of f(x) = − −​x​​  3​​
+ 7x − 4. 2​​x​​  2​​ x
Then describe the behavior of the graph −4 −2 O 2
of f at each zero. −2
𝖠 4, −1; As x → −∞, f → −∞.
When −1 < x < 4, f < 0. At x = 4,
f is tangent to the x-axis,
so when x > 1, f → ∞.
𝖡 −4, 1; As x → −∞, f → −∞. When −4 < x < 1, f > 0. At x = 1,
f is tangent to the x-axis, so when x > 1, f → −∞.
𝖢 4, −1; As x → −∞, f → ∞. When −1 < x < 4, f > 0. At x = 4,
f is tangent to the x-axis, so when x > 1, f → ∞.
𝖣 −4, 1; As x → −∞, f → ∞. When −4 < x < 1, f < 0. At x = 1,
f is tangent to the x-axis, so when x > 1, f → −∞.

3. What are the real and complex zeros y

of the function y = ​​x​​  3​​ + 3​​x​​  2​​ + x + 3, which
is graphed at the right? 4

𝖠 −3, −1, and 1 2


𝖡 −3, i, and −i x
−4 −2 O 2 4
𝖢 3, i, and −i −2
𝖣 −3, −2, and 3
4. What x-values are solutions of ​​x​​  3​​ + 5​​x​​  2​​ − x − 7 = ​​x​​  2​​ + 6x + 3?
Use a graphing calculator to find points of intersection between
the two functions.
The graphs intersect at x = ,x= , and x = .
5. What values of x are solutions of the inequality ​​x​​  3​​ − 4x > 0?
