Math Problem Statement
Solution
It looks like you've uploaded an image with a set of questions related to a cubic function . Let's go through the parts of the question one by one. I will start with part (i).
(i) Sketch the graph of
The function is , which is a cubic function. The graph of a cubic function typically has at least one real root, and it may have turning points. To sketch the graph:
- Find the roots of the equation by factoring or using other methods.
- Analyze the behavior of as and .
- Identify any turning points by finding the first and second derivatives to locate maxima, minima, and inflection points.
For part (ii), I will need to find the integer solutions for . Let me proceed step by step and calculate the necessary points.
Should I continue with part (ii), or would you like me to start with a specific part of the question?
