Practice Problems for the Java Applets
Using the java applets on my site, or other similar technology, do the problems before. 1. Consider the function f (x) = x3 + 3x2 (a) Plot this function. (b) Using zoom and trace, approximate the x and y function. 2. Consider the function f (x) = ex 2 and g (x) = sin x. intercepts of this 5x + 1
(a) Plot these functions on the same screen. (b) Using zoom and trace, approximate the coordinates of the point where these two functions meet. (c) Using your answer in parts and a) b), ...nd the values of x for which f (x) g (x).
