Answer:

f(x)=x^3+x^2-4x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph, the x-intercepts are;

x=-2

x=-1

x=2

These are root of the polynomial function represented by the given graph.

By the remainder theorem;

f(-2)=0,f(-1)=0,f(2)=0

According to the factor theorem, if (x-a) is a factor of f(x), then f(a)=0

This implies that;

(x+2),(x+1),(x-2) are factors of the required function.

Hence; f(x)=(x+1)(x-2)(x+2)

We expand using difference of two squares to obtain;

f(x)=(x+1)(x^2-4)

We expand using the distributive property to get;

f(x)=x^3-4x+x^2-4

Rewrite in standard form to obtain;

f(x)=x^3+x^2-4x-4

Answer:

Choice A: f(x) = x^3 + x^2 − 4x − 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a great and simple answer.

Ok first we need to take the x intercepts to solve.

If we look at the graph we see the x ints are -2,+1 and +2.

To solve we need to put them into factor form

= (x-2) (x+2) and (x+1)

Simplify: (x-2) (x+2) = (x^2-4) and (x+1)

Now we take (x^2-4) and (x+1) and multiply them to find our answer

(x^2-4) (x+1)

= x^2(x) and x^2(1) = x^3 and x^2.

now the other: -4(x) and -4(+1) = -4x and -4

We have nothing common here so we just join them

= x^3 + x^2 - 4x - 4, and that is the same as choice A.
