Need help please with end behavior!

I'll focus on problem 2.

For these types of problems, I recommend graphing the functions to see how the end behavior looks.

The graph of y = x^2 has a parabola where both endpoints aim upward. So each end goes to positive infinity (regardless if x is going to positive or negative infinity).

In short, the graph rises to the left and it rises to the right.

Increasing the leading coefficient will not change this fact. We can pick any leading coefficient we want and the end behavior will stay the same. All that matters is the leading coefficient is positive.

If the leading coefficient becomes negative, then everything flips: the endpoints will aim down. The other terms we add on (such as a 3x+3) will not change the end behavior. The leading term, with the largest exponent, is what directly and solely determines the end behavior.

The graph is shown below. I used GeoGebra to make the graph. Desmos is another handy tool you could use.

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.

the answer is 8.64
