Question

Which of the following functions represents the graph on

the left? (Hint: Plug in your x values from the previous
slide. Do they produce f(x)=0?)
O f(x) = (x-6)(x+2)
O f(x) = (x+6) (x - 2)

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

f(x) = (x -6)(x +2)

Explanation:

The graph shows the x-intercepts are -2 and +6. The factors will be binomials such that these values make the factors zero: (x +2) and (x -6).

f(x) = (x -6)(x +2)
