I know that
the graph goes through the points -3,1 -1,3 and 1,4
has f'(x)= 0 at x=-1 and x=1
and f''(x)<0 for x>-1 and f''(x)>0 for x<-1
I guess it's a third degree equation?
like this? f(x)=ax³+bx²+cx+d
If i plug in the numbers i get
-27a+9b−3c+d=1 3=-a+b−c+d and 4=a+b+c+d
and
0=27a6b+c 0=3a+2b+c
Now i substitue, right? After substitutions i find that b = -0.3125 and a = -5/48
With these two values i can find c and d, but i think something has gone wrong..
The graph i get doesnt go through -3,1:|
help? what am I doing wrong?
