Explanation / Answer

We have f(x) = -8(x-2)(x+1)2

(a). The real zeros of f(x) are 2 and -1.The multiplicity of the larger zero (2) is 1. The multiplicity of the smaller zero (-1) is 2.

(c) We have f(x) = -8( x-2)( x2+2x+1) = -8( x3 +2x2+x – 2x2-4x -2) = -8(x3 -3x-2) = -8x3 +24x +16. Then f’(x) = -24x2 +24. Thus when f’(x) = 0, we have x2 = 1 or x = ±1. Thus x = ±1 are the critical points of f(x). Further, f’(0) = 24 and f’(-2) = -72. Thus -1 is a turning point. Also, f(2) = -72 and f(0) = 24 so that 1 is also a turning point. The graph has only 2 turning points.

(b) The x-intercepts are where y = 0. These are -1 and +2 . Since -1 is a turning point, the graph does not cross the X-Axis at x = -1 (smaller x-intercept). Since x = 2 is not a turning point, the graph crosses the X-Axis at x = 2(larger x-intercept).

(d) For large values of x, the graph of f(x) will resemble the graph of g(x) = -8x3.The required power function is y = g(x) = -8x3.
