So I'm having trouble solving the following equations. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. It's an old test paper, for those of you might think I'm cheating.

The one at 5 looks like just a single one. Maybe this graph has an equation something like $y = \pm (x + 2)^3(x - 3)^3(x - 5)$. 5: I don't know exactly what this is asking. Maybe you need to find $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty}2^x$?

6. I don't know.
7. How does that help me exactly?
11. Huh?
3. Ok got that.
4. Ok got that.
5. Ok got that.
