Y=(x-2)(x-1)^2 in standard form

9514 1404 393

  Y = x^3 -4x^2 +5x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The product can be formed in stages. I prefer to figure the squared term first.

  y = (x -2)(x^2 -2x +1)

  y = x(x^2 -2x +1) -2(x^2 -2x +1)

  y = x^3 -4x^2 +5x -2

step-by-step explanation:

through just a quick inspection, one can see that the graph of this cubing function starts in quadrant iii and ends in quadrant i.   when x = 0, y = 3, so the y-intercept is (0, 3).

if graphs are part of the problem statement, share them.   .
