Begin by graphing the cube root function, \(f(x)-\sqrt[3]{x} .\) Then use transformations of this graph to graph the given function. $$ h(x)-\frac{1}{2} \sqrt[3]{x+2} $$
Use a graphing utility to graph each function. Use a \([-5,5,1]\) by \([-5,5,1]\) viewing rectangle. Then find the intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant. $$f(x)=x^{3}-6 x^{2}+9 x+1$$
Use a graphing utility to graph each function. Use a \([-5,5,1]\) by \([-5,5,1]\) viewing rectangle. Then find the intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant. $$f(x)=x^{3}(x-4)$$
Explain how to find the difference quotient of a function \(f\) \(\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h},\) if an equation for \(f\) is given.
Use a graphing utility to graph each function. Use a \([-5,5,1]\) by \([-5,5,1]\) viewing rectangle. Then find the intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant. $$g(x)=\left|4-x^{2}\right|$$
