Suppose $$r(x)=\frac{x+1}{x^{2}+3} \quad \text { and } \quad s(x)=\frac{x+2}{x^{2}+5}$$ What is the domain of \(r ?\)
Show that $$ (a+b)^{3}=a^{3}+b^{3} $$ if and only if \(a=0\) or \(b=0\) or \(a=-b\).
Let \(p\) be the polynomial defined by $$p(x)=x^{6}-87 x^{4}-92 x+2$$. (a)Evaluate \(p(-2), p(-1), p(0),\) and \(p(1)\). (b) Explain why the results from part (a) imply that \(p\) has a zero in the interval (-2,-1) and \(p\) has a zero in the interval (0,1) . (c) Show that \(p\) has at least four zeros in the interval [-10,10] . [Hint: We already know from part ( \(b\) ) that \(p\) has at least two zeros is the interval [-10,10] . You can show the existence of other zeros by finding integers \(n\) such that one of the numbers \(p(n)\), \(p(n+1)\) is positive and the other is negative.]
Let \(p\) be the polynomial defined by $$p(x)=x^{6}-87 x^{4}-92 x+2$$. (a)Use a computer or calculator to sketch a graph of \(p\) on the interval [-5,5] . (b) Is \(p(x)\) positive or negative for \(x\) near \(\infty ?\) (c) Is \(p(x)\) positive or negative for \(x\) near \(-\infty ?\) (d) Explain why the graph from part (a) does not accurately show the behavior of \(p(x)\) for large values of \(x\).
Give an example of a polynomial \(p\) of degree 8 such that \(p(2)=3\) and \(p(x) \geq 3\) for all real numbers \(x\).
