Using the Factor Theorem, the equation of h(x) is given as follows:
h(x) = -2(x³ - 2x² - 5x + 6)
<h3>What is the Factor Theorem?</h3>The Factor Theorem states that a polynomial function with roots is given by:
In which a is the leading coefficient.
Looking at the table, considering the values of x when h(x) = 0, the roots of h(x) are given as follows:
Then the rule is:
h(x) = a(x + 2)(x - 1)(x - 3)
h(x) = a(x² + x - 2)(x - 3)
h(x) = a(x³ - 2x² - 5x + 6)
The h-intercept is of -12, as when x = 0, h = -12, hence this is used to find a as follows:
6a = -12
a = -12/6
a = -2.
Hence the function is given by:
h(x) = -2(x³ - 2x² - 5x + 6)
