Test: 0.8 * 1.25 = 1
The reciprocal of 1.25 () is 0.8 (

It is often more convenient to evaluate a polynomial when it is written is "Horner form."
... f(x) = (((10x -4)x -8)x +3)x -6
The graphs offered can be distinguished by their values of f(1) and f(2), so our table can be a short one.
... f(1) = (((10·1 -4)1 -8)1 +3)1 -6 = -5 . . . . . . . eliminates graph d
... f(2) = (((10·2 -4)2 -8)2 +3)2 -6 = 96 . . . . eliminates graphs a and c
The appropriate choice is b.
