1.The graphs below are all of the same shape as the graph of y = x3 . Give the equations of each:

a.

b.

c.

2. Sketch the graphs of the following functions. Plot intercepts and additional points, where needed, to get an accurate shape to your graph.

a. y = 3x3

b. y = − x3 − 2

c. y = 0.5 x3 − 1

d. y = -2x3 + 3

e. y = (x − 3)3

f. y = (x − 1)3 + 2

3. Give the equations of the following graphs in the form y =(x − a)(x − b)(x − c)

a.

b.

 

c.

 

4. Sketch the graphs of the following functions (you do not need to find coordinates of the turning points):

a. y = (x − 1)(x + 3)( x − 4)

b. y = (x + 2)(x − 2)( x + 1)

c. y = (x − 1)2(x + 3)

d. y = (4x − 1)(x − 2)(x + 1)

e. y = x (x − 2)(x + 3)

f. y = -x (3 − x)(2x − 1)
