answer
explanation
since there are 2 x-intercepts, the lowest degree the function could possibly have is 2, so this could be the graph of a parabola
since our zeros are at x = 4 and x = -2, our factors are (x - 4) and (x + 2)
our equation so far is
(x - 4)(x + 2)
=
=
since the function is reflected across the x-axis, multiply the equation by -1
=
since the function has a vertical stretch of 3, multiply the equation by 3
=
One thing to bear in mind with trigonometric expressions is that, the exponent location is next to the function name, instead of the whole expression, though it applies to the whole thing, namely cos²(x), is really [ cos(x) ]², and that matters for using the chain rule.
![\bf y=cos^2(x)-sin^2(x)\implies y=[cos(x)]^2-[sin(x)]^2 \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=\stackrel{chain~rule}{2cos(x)\cdot -sin(x)}~~-~~\stackrel{chain~rule}{2sin(x)\cdot cos(x)} \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=-2cos(x)sin(x)-2cos(x)sin(x) \\\\\\ \cfrac{dy}{dx}=-4cos(x)sin(x)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20y%3Dcos%5E2%28x%29-sin%5E2%28x%29%5Cimplies%20y%3D%5Bcos%28x%29%5D%5E2-%5Bsin%28x%29%5D%5E2%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A%5Ccfrac%7Bdy%7D%7Bdx%7D%3D%5Cstackrel%7Bchain~rule%7D%7B2cos%28x%29%5Ccdot%20-sin%28x%29%7D~~-~~%5Cstackrel%7Bchain~rule%7D%7B2sin%28x%29%5Ccdot%20cos%28x%29%7D%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A%5Ccfrac%7Bdy%7D%7Bdx%7D%3D-2cos%28x%29sin%28x%29-2cos%28x%29sin%28x%29%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A%5Ccfrac%7Bdy%7D%7Bdx%7D%3D-4cos%28x%29sin%28x%29)
