1. "the graph has the same zeros" : so let a be the "triple" root of the cubic polynomial function.
2. So f(x)=

3. Don't forget that the expression might have a coefficient b as well, and still maintain the conditions:

4. Now, f(0)=-5 so




5. the function is

where a can be any real number except 0
Answer: (x−2)(x−2)
The middle number is -4 and the last number is 4.
Factoring means we want something like
(x+_)(x+_)
Which numbers go in the blanks?
We need two numbers that...
Add together to get -4
Multiply together to get 4
Can you think of the two numbers?
Try -2 and -2:
-2+-2 = -4
-2*-2 = 4
Fill in the blanks in
(x+_)(x+_)
with -2 and -2 to get...
(x-2)(x-2)
Answer:
(x−2)(x−2)
so the answer is D.
Solution :
Given initial velocity, v= 48 ft/s
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 
a). Therefore the maximum height he can jump on Mars is


= 96 ft
b). Time he can stay in the air before hitting the ground is


= 8 seconds
c). Considering upward motion as positive direction.
v = u + at
We find the time taken to reach the maximum height by taking v = 0.
v = u + at
0 = 16 + (12) t


We know that, 
Taking t =
, we get

feet
Thus he can't reach to 100 ft as it is shown in the movie.
d). For any jump whose final landing position will be same of the take off level, the final velocity will be the initial velocity.
Therefore final velocity is = -16 ft/s
97.15 is the area. All I did is multiply both numbers.
