Question

A polynomial function can be written as (x - 2)(x - 3)(x + 5) What are the x-intercepts of the graph of this function? (4 points)

(2, 0), (3, 0), (-5, 0)
(-2, 0), (-3, 0), (5, 0)
(2, 0), (3, 0), (5, 0)
(-2, 0), (-3, 0), (-5, 0)

Answer 1

(2,0), (3,0), (-5,0) or A

Explanation:

Answer 2

easy
the x intercepts are the roots
for roots, r1,r2,r3, the factors are
(x-r1)(x-r2)(x-r3)
given
(x-2)(x-3)(x-(-5))
the roots are
x=2,x=3,x=-5

so
(2,0) and (3,0) and (-5,0)
