Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

PART 1:

Possible roots by noticing the coefficient of first term:

x = 1, -1

PART 2:

1 | 1 -1 -4 4

1 0 -4 0

The remainder is zero, hence one factor is (x-1)

PART 3:

$x^3-x^2-4x+4=(x^2-4)(x-1)\\\\x^3-x^2-4x+4=(x+2)(x-2)(x-1)$

PART 4:

$f(x)=(x+2)(x-2)(x-1)\\\\=(x^2-4)(x-1)\\\\=x^3-4x-x^2+4\\\\=x^3-x^2-4x+4$

the Given data

*The given point is (-1, -5)

*The given scale factor is 5

The image of -1 - 5 after dilation by a scale factor of 5 centered at the origin is given as
