1. Find the center, vertices, and foci of the ellipse with equation x squared divided by 400 plus y squared divided by 625 = 1.

2. Determine if the graph is symmetric about the x-axis, the y-axis, or the origin.
r = -3 + 3 sin θ

First, for end behavior, the highest power of x is x^3 and it is positive. So towards infinity, the graph will be positive, and towards negative infinity the graph will be negative (because this is a cubic graph)

To find the zeros, you set the equation equal to 0 and solve for x

x^3+2x^2-8x=0

x(x^2+2x-8)=0

x(x+4)(x-2)=0

x=0   x=-4   x=2

So the zeros are at 0, -4, and 2. Therefore, you can plot the points (0,0), (-4,0) and (2,0)

And we can plug values into the original that are between each of the zeros to see which intervals are positive or negative.

Plugging in a -5 gets us -35

-1 gets us 9

1 gets us -5

3 gets us 21

So now you know end behavior, zeroes, and signs of intervals

Hope this helps
