Question

Which statement describes the graph of this polynomial function?

f(x) = x5-6x4+9x3
The graph crosses the x-axis at x = 0 and touches the x-axis at x = 3.
O The graph touches the x-axis at x = 0 and crosses the x-axis at x = 3.
O The graph crosses the x-axis at x = 0 and touches the x-axis at x = -3.
O The graph touches the x-axis at x = 0 and crosses the x-axis at x = -3.

Answer 1

A. The graph crosses the x-axis at x = 0 and touches the x-axis at x = 3.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The graph crosses the x-axis at x = 0 and touches the x-axis at x = 3.

Explanation:

When you graph this equation, you should see the zeros it passes and touches.
