The graph in the question is missing.
Answer:
y =
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is cubic
It has roots as -4, -4 , 6
this means the value of x = -4, -4 , 6 which makes the entire equation zero
so we have solutions as
x+4 = 0
x+4 = 0
x- 6 = 0
on forming a cubic equation using these
(x+4)(x+4)(x-6)
the equation passes through (2,36)
put x = 2
(2+4)(2+4)(2-6) = (6)*(6)*(-4)
which exceeds 36 so we product the equation with -1/4 to get 36
Final equation
y =

Answer:
No, Matt did not solve the equation correctly
Correct Answer: x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x + 2) = 30
Step 1: Distribute
4x + 2 = 30 This is his mistake, he should completely distribute 4
to x and 2
Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides/Isolate x
4x = 28 This part is done correctly, but wrong because of Step 1
Step 3: Divide both sides by 4
x = 7 This is correct, but again, he messed up on Step 1
Step 1: Distribute
Remember to distribute 4 to all terms in the parenthesis.
4(x + 2) = 4(x) + 4(2)
= 4x + 8
4x + 8 = 30
Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides/Isolate x
Move all the terms that do not belong to x to the other side. We can do this by subtracting 8 from both sides (opposite operation of adding 8)
4x + 8 = 30
4x = 30 - 8
4x = 32
Step 3: Divide both sides by 4/Isolate x
Now we want x by itself. Since x is being multiplied by 4, we have to use the opposite operation, dividing by 4, to have x on one side by itself
4x = 32
4(x) = 32
x = 32 ÷ 4
x = 8
