Answer:
First, let's do some general definitions:
We start with:
f(x) = 3.5*x^3
A general equation of this form is:
g(x) = a*x^3
if:
IaI > 3.5 the function will be steeper.
IaI < 3.5 the function will be less steep.
a < 0, means that we have a reflection over the x-axis.
Then:
p(x) = 4.5*x^3
bassed on what we wrote above, this function is steeper than f(x)
q(x) = -x^3
This is less steep ( a = -1 in this case) and we also have a reflection over the x-axis.
r(x) = 3*x^3
In this case 3 < 3.5, this means that this will be lees steep than f(x)
