Question

Graph the function. f(x)=-\dfrac{2}{3}(x +1)(x -5)f(x)=− 3 2 ​ (x+1)(x−5)

Answer 1

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -2/3 (x+1) (x-5)

First find the zeros

0 = -2/3 (x+1) (x-5)

Using the zero product property

x+1 =0   x-5=0

x= -1    x = 5

Then find the y intercept

y = -2/3 (0+1)(0-5)

  - 2/3 (1)(-5)

  +10/3

We know that this is a parabola that opens downward
