If the roots of the equation f(x)=0 are -4,-1, 2 and 5, then binomials (x+4), (x+1), (x-2) and (x-5) are factors of needed polynomial.
Thus, the polynomial will have form
where a is real coefficient (positive or negative). This polynomial has degree 4 as needed.
The form of the graph depends on the sign of coefficient a. Attached diagrams show two different cases of possible forms of graphs (first one for positive coefficient a, second one for negative coefficient a).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Vertical stretch is accomplished by multiplying the function value by the stretch factor. When |x| is stretched by a factor of 2, the stretched function is ...
g(x) = 2|x|
__
2) Reflection over the x-axis means each y-value is replaced by its opposite. This is accomplished by multiplying the function value by -1.
g(x) = -2|x|
__
3) As you know from when you plot a point on a graph, shifting it down 3 units subtracts 3 from the y-value.
g(x) = -2|x| -3
__
4) A right-shift by k units means the argument of the function is replaced by x-k. We want a right shift of 1 unit, so ...
g(x) = -2|x -1| -3
