  1. One turning point
  2. Two turning points
  3. No turning points
  4. Three turning points

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The family of curves y = kx^3 is known for having:
  • Step 1: Understand that the equation y = kx^3 represents a family of cubic functions, where 'k' is a constant that can change the shape of the curve.
  • Step 2: Recognize that a cubic function can have turning points, which are points where the curve changes direction.
  • Step 3: To find the turning points, we need to find the derivative of the function y = kx^3.
  • Step 4: The derivative of y = kx^3 is dy/dx = 3kx^2.
  • Step 5: Set the derivative equal to zero to find the turning points: 3kx^2 = 0.
  • Step 6: Solve for x: This equation is zero when x = 0 (since k is a constant and not zero).
  • Step 7: Conclude that the cubic function y = kx^3 has one turning point at x = 0.
