How many times does the graph of the function below intersect touch the x-axis? y= -3x^2 + x + 4

2 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Well let's first graph the quadratic equation,

Look at the image below ↓

By looking at the image below we can tell that the graph touches the x axis 2 times at,

(-1,0)

(1 1/3,0)

Thus,

the parabola touches the x axis twice.

Hope this helps :)

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
