Question

State a cubic or quartic function with the least degree possible in intercept form for the given graph. Assume that all x-intercepts are integers, and that the constant factor a is either 1 or −1.
Enter the correct value in the box to answer the question.
y= ?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = $-x^{3} - 2x^{2} + 5x + 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

The function will be cubic.  The x-intercepts are -4, -1, and 2

The constant factor is -1 because the graph falls on the right.  So,

y = -(x + 4)(x + 1)(x - 2)

y = -$x^{3} -2x^{2} + 5x +6$
