The function of the polynomial is (b) 
From the graph, we have the following highlights
- The graph crosses the x-axis at x = -1 and x = 3
- The graph touches the x-axis at x = -2
The above highlights mean that:
- The function has a multiplicity of 1 at x = -1 and x = 3
- The function has a multiplicity of 2 at x = -2
So, the function of the polynomial is:

Assume a = 1.
So, we have:

Multiply

Hence, the function of the polynomial is (b)

a) As the constants are equal, the situation represents a proportional relationship.
b) The constant of 2/3 cupcakes per minute means that in a minute, 2/3 of a cupcake is made.
<h3>What is a proportional relationship?</h3>
A proportional relationship is a function in which the output variable is given by the input variable multiplied by a constant of proportionality, that is:
y = kx
In which k is the constant of proportionality.
In this problem, the constants for each situation are:
k = 30/45 = (30/15)/(45/15) = 2/3 = 20/30.
Since the constants are equal, the situation represents a proportional relationship.
The constant of 2/3 cupcakes per minute means that in a minute, 2/3 of a cupcake is made.
