Question

Which graph represents the function
f(x) = (x + 4)(x + 1)(x - 3)
?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The graph that represents the function

f(x) = (x + 4)(x + 1)(x - 3)

crosses the x-axis three times: at x = -4, x = -1, and x = 3

because we apply the zero product rule and found the roots -4, -1, and 3

x+ 4= 0 → x = -4

x+1 = 0 → x = -1

x-3 = 0 → x = 3
