Answer:
f(x) = 7/(x+3) -38/(x+3)²
Step-by-step explanation:
The denominator is a perfect square, so the decomposition to fractions will involve both a linear denominator and a quadratic denominator.
You can start with the form ...
... f(x) = B/(x+3) + A/(x+3)²
and write this sum as ...
... f(x) = (Bx +3B +A)/(x+3)²
Equating coefficients gives ...
... Bx = 7x . . . . . B = 7
... 3B +A = -17 . . . . the constant term
... 21 +A = -17 . . . . filling in the value of B
... A = -38 . . . . . . . subtract 21 to find A
Now, we know ...
... f(x) = 7/(x+3) -38/(x+3)²
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)

-3x + y = 1 ............. the general form is y= mx +b .................y = 1 + 3x
...........................
Y = 3x + 1
