Explanation / Answer

21) f(x) = ( 2x -1)^3

finding x intercepts

( 2x -1)^3 = 0

2x -1 = 0

2x = 1

x = 1/2

x intercepts are ( 1/2 , 0 )

since the multiplicity of x intercept is 3 which is odd

so grpah crosses x axis at x = 1/2

graph starts from down and goes up

as x tends to - infinity , f(x) tends to - infinity

as x tends to + infinity , f(x) tends to + infinity

25)

f(x) = x^2 - 3x + 10

x^2 - 3x + 10 = 0

this equation has no real roots

hence, the graph will have no x intercepts
