Expert Solution

For the graph of y = x^4 -6x^2 +12  

1. Which symmetry would the graph of this equation? illustrate? Choose the correct letter of the answer below?

Clearly the x and -x for the graph is same, so y-axis is an axis of symmetry

f(x) = f(-x) so function is even and symmetric about y-axis

Answer B. The graph of the function is symmetric about the? y-axis.

2. Find the? x-intercept(s) and determine whether the graph of the function crosses the? x-axis at each ?x-intercept. Choose the correct letter from below and fill in blanks please.

x^4-6x^2+12

roots : x^2 = (6 + sqrt(36 - 48))/2, (6 - sqrt(36 - 48))/2 = 3 - isqrt{3}, 3 + isqrt{3}

no real solutions, so graph doesn't intersect x-axis

D.The graph does not have any? x-intercepts.

3. Lastly, Find the behavior of the given graph as x ? ? and x ???.

As can be seen, at all the large values (positive and negative), function will output only large values.
