Answer:

Option A. y = x² + 7x + 10

Explanation:

We'll begin calculating the roots of the equation from the graph.

The roots of the equation on the graph is where the curve passes through the x-axis.

The curve passes through the x-axis at –5 and –2

Next, we shall determine the equation. This can be obtained as follow:

x = –5 or x = –2

x + 5 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

(x + 5)(x + 2) = 0

Expand

x(x + 2) + 5(x + 2) = 0

x² + 2x + 5x + 10 = 0

x² + 7x + 10 = 0

y = x² + 7x + 10

Thus, the function that describes the graph is y = x² + 7x + 10
