Question

Given a polynomial function f(x) describe the effects on the y-intercept, regions where the graph is increasing and decreasing, and the end behavior when the following changes are made. Make sure to account for even and odd functions. • when f(x) becomes f(x) + 2 • when f(x) becomes -1/2. f(x)There is one more piece, I will send it.

Answer 1

We will have the following:

*When f(x) becomes f(x) + 2:

If the function increases by 2 units, then the y-intercept will also increase by two units [On the y-axis] regardless of the nature of the function.

*When f(x) becomes 1/2*f(x):

If the overall function is scaladed by a factor of 1/2 then the y-intercept will remain in the same point regardless of the nature of the function.
