We know that the polynomial function is of degree 3, and that its roots are -4, 0, 2.
With this data we can write a generic equation for the function:
f (x) = bx (x + 4) (x-2)
Since the function is of degree 3 and cuts the axis at x = 0, then it has rotational symmetry with respect to the origin.
The graph of the function can be of two main forms, based on the value of the coefficient b.
If b is positive then the function grows from y = -infinite and cuts the x-axis for the first time in -4. Then it decreases, cuts at x = 0 and begins to grow again cutting the x-axis for the third time at x = 2. and continues to grow until y = infnit
If b is negative, then the function decreases from y = infinity and cuts the x-axis for the first time in -4. Then it grows, cuts at x = 0 and begins to decrease again by cutting the x-axis for the third time at x = 2, and continues to decrease until y = -infnit.
In the attached images the graphs of the function f (x) are shown assuming b = -1 and b = 1

Measure of angle 5 i.e. m∠5 = 50°
<h3>What is measurement of an angle ?</h3>The measurement of angle is the degree of that angle or we can also say that the angles are always measured in degree. In geometry, the complete one revolution of four quadrants is of 360 degrees (360°) and divided into total of 360 parts where each part of this represents a degree.
<h3>How to find angle measurement ?</h3>As stated above there are total 360 parts in one revolution thus thus we can find value of particular angle by subtracting the angle from 360 or 180 for a straight line.
In the question,
Let given angle is ∠8.
Given, ∠8 = 50°
Now, according to vertical angle property
∠5 = ∠8
therefore, ∠5 = 50°
Thus, m∠5 = 50°
