HELP ASAP!! Are the expressions –0.5(3x + 5) and –1.5x + 2.5 equivalent? Explain why or why not.

If the roots of the equation f(x)=0 are -4,-1, 2 and 5, then binomials (x+4), (x+1), (x-2) and (x-5) are factors of needed polynomial.
Thus, the polynomial will have form
where a is real coefficient (positive or negative). This polynomial has degree 4 as needed.
The form of the graph depends on the sign of coefficient a. Attached diagrams show two different cases of possible forms of graphs (first one for positive coefficient a, second one for negative coefficient a).
