equation of f(x)

point of intersection of f(x) and x axis - (-4,0)

point of intersection of f(x) and y axis - (0,4)

Equation y = x +4

g(x) = f( kx)

= kx +4

g(-2) = -2

-2k +4= -2

-2k = -2 -4

-2k = -6

k= 3

$f(x) = 0 \\\\\implies x^3-13x^2+59x -87 =0\\\\\implies x^3 -3x^2 -10x^2 +30x +29x - 87=0\\\\\implies x^2(x-3) - 10x(x-3) + 29(x-3) =0\\\\\implies (x-3)(x^2 -10x +29) =0\\\\\implies x - 3 = 0 ~~ \text{or}~~x^2 -10x +29 = 0\\\\\implies x =3~~ \text{ or} ~~ x = \dfrac{-(-10) \pm \sqrt{(-10)^2 -4 \cdot 1 \cdot 29}}{2(1)}\\\\\implies x =3~~ \text{ or} ~~ x = \dfrac{10\pm \sqrt{-16}}{2}\\\\\implies x =3~~ \text{ or} ~~ x = \dfrac{10\pm 4i }{2}\\$
