Question

Write a polynomial equation that is best represented by the graph. Please show work and thanks in advance! :)

Answer 1

(x+1)(x)(x-2)
I checked my graphing calculator to make sure!

Answer 2

It's a 3rd degree polynomial judging by the shape.  Use the 3 factored zeros of x=-1,0,2 to get x(x+1)(x-2)
multiply this out to get
$y=x^3-x^2-2x$
I plotted it too
