a) At A y=0, therefore if we solve: 0= (1/x)+1 we get x=-1.b)First step when drawing graphs is to find roots. x=0, x=2. Because x=0 acts as two of roots the graph only touches x=0. The graph is a positive cubic therefore points upward.c)Clearly comparing graphs would only cross twice

A is a function of P . It is known that A is the sum of two parts, one part varies as P and the other part varies as the square of P . When P = 24 , A = 36 and when P = 18 , A = 9. Express A in terms of P .
How do I identify that the coordinate (2,3) is the maximum point of the curve f(x)?
