The zeros of the polynomial are -3, -2, 4 and 6 and the graph of the polynomial is graph (a)

<h3>How to factor the polynomial?</h3>

The polynomial is given as:

P(x) = x^4 - 5x^3 - 20x^2 + 60x + 144

Expand the polynomial function

P(x) = x^4 - 10x^3 + 5x^3 + 24x^2 - 50x^2 + 6x^2 + 120x - 60x + 144

Rewrite the function as:

P(x) = x^4 - 10x^3 + 24x^2 + 5x^3 - 50x^2 + 120x + 6x^2 - 60x + 144

Factorize the function

P(x) = x^2(x^2 - 10x + 24) + 5x(x^2 - 10x + 24) + 6(x^2 - 10x + 24)

Factor out x^2 - 10x + 24

P(x) = (x^2 + 5x + 6)(x^2 - 10x + 24)

Expand each bracket

P(x) = (x^2 + 3x + 2x + 6)(x^2 - 4x - 6x + 24)

Factorize each bracket

P(x) = [x(x + 3) + 2(x + 3)][x(x - 6) - 4(x - 6)]

Factor out x + 3 and x - 6

P(x) = (x + 3)(x + 2)(x - 4)(x - 6)

Set to 0

(x + 3)(x + 2)(x - 4)(x - 6) = 0

Solve for x

x =-3, -2, 4 and 6

Hence, the zeros of the polynomial are -3, -2, 4 and 6 and the graph of the polynomial is graph (a)

All polynomials have at least one maximum.<br> O A. True<br> O B. False
Advocard [28]

Answer: B) False

A counter-example would be the cubic polynomial y = x^3 which doesn't have a max or a min. The graph stretches forever in both directions (up and down) indicating that the range is the set of all real numbers.
