What is the equation of the polynomial function?

Answer:

f(x) = (1/2)(x-2)^2(x+1)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can determine this by looking at the zeroes of the graph. For any zero that goes through the x-axis, the power of that zero is odd. For any zero that that "bounces" from the x-axis, the power of that zero is even.

Starting from left to right, we can see that the first zero, -2, goes through the x-axis. That means (x+2) is raised to an odd power. The second zero, -1, also goes through, so (x+1) is raised to an odd power. The last zero, 2, bounces off the x-axis, so (x-2) is raised to an even power. The only functions that satisfy this criteria are function 1 and 2.

However, we are not done yet. We need to figure out which multiplier value (1/2, 1/4) is correct. To do this, we plug in 0 for x, since we know that the y-intercept is 4. When we plug in 0, we see that f(0) = 4 for the first function. Therefore, the first function is the answer.

D i believe if x=1 & 1/2 and y=1 then 2-1/2*1 would equal 1 1/2 which then the equation would be complete and correct. i tested and y=2 or y=3 would both still be correct.

What's 2/4 x 1/3? And pls provide work on how u got the answer.
igomit [66]
Just multiply the top number by the top number and the bottom numbers by the bottom numbers so


2/4 times 1/3=(2 times 1)/(4 times 3)=2/12

so to simplify, we find the ones exg 4/8=1/2 because 1/2 times 4/4=4/8 and 4/4 cancels out so

2/12=2/2 times 1/6
=1/6
