Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!

Tammy knows that the factors of a polynomial are ƒ(x) = (x − 2)(x − 1)(x + 4) and the solutions are x = −4, 1, and 2. Which graph models this polynomial?

Answer 1

The answer would be D, where all of the given x values touch the x axis

Answer 2

Answer: D)

Explanation:

The equation is: (x - 2)(x - 1)(x + 4) = 0

We can find the x-intercepts by Applying the Zero Product Property:

x - 2 = 0 x - 1 = 0 x + 4 = 0

x = 2 x = 1 x = -4

Which graph shows the curve crossing the x-axis at these points? D
