==========================================================

The given graph have four zeros at x = -3 , 0 , 2 , 7

==========================================================

f(x) = x³ + x² -6x

The function f(x) is polynomial has degree = 3

so, it has only 3 zeros

==========================================================

g(x) = (x²+x-6)(x²-7x) ⇒ By factoring

⇒ By factoring

∴ g(x) = x(x-7)(x+3)(x-2)

∴ g(x) has zeros at x = -3 , 0 , 2 , 7

==========================================================

h(x) = x(x-7)(x+3)(x-2)

h(x) has zeros at x = -3 , 0 , 2 , 7

==========================================================

m(x) = (x³-4x²-21x)(x-2)

⇒ By factoring

∴ m(x) = x(x-7)(x+3)(x-2)

∴ m(x) has zeros at x = -3 , 0 , 2 , 7

==========================================================

n(x) = x²-9x+14

The function f(x) is polynomial has degree = 3

so, it has only 3 zeros

==========================================================

p(x) = x(x+2)(x-3)(x+7)

∴ p(x) has zeros at x = 3 , 0 , -2 , -7

==========================================================

By comparing zeros of the given graph to zeros of the functions

The result will be:

The functions that have the same zeros as the graph are

g(x) , h(x) and m(x)
