Answer:
f(x) = x³ - 5x² - 9x + 45
Step-by-step explanation:
Given x = a, x = b are the zeros of a polynomial, then
(x - a), (x - b) are the factors and f(x) is the product of the factors.
Here the zeros are x = - 3, x = 3 and x = 5, thus
(x + 3), (x - 3) and (x - 5) are the factors and
f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 3)(x - 5) ← expand the first pair of factors using FOIL
= (x² - 9)(x - 5) ← distribute
= x³ - 5x² - 9x + 45
The decay factor of the exponential function given in the table is of
.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
A decaying exponential function is modeled by:

In which:
- A(0) is the initial value.
- r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
In this problem, we have that when x increases by 1, y decreases by a factor of 3, hence the decay rate r is found as follows:
