Answer:

f(x) = (x + 20)(x - 24)(x + 10)(x + 12)

Explanation:

This is an equation of degree 4 and as the beginning of the graph descends from negative x the polynomial will have a positive leading coefficient. The graph is roughly W shaped.

It also has zeroes at x = -20,-12 ,-10 and x = 24.

So it is the first option.
