Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x) = a(x - 2)2(x + 4), a ≠ 0

 

Use the given point (0,-10) to find a.

 

-10 = a(0 - 2)2(0 + 5) = a(4)(5) = 20a

a = -10/20 = -1/2

 

P(x) = (-1/2)(x - 2)2(x + 5)

 

You can expand this if you wish

Spain = 140
Italy = 40
France = 60
U.S.A = 120
total = 18,000,000

Spain : 140/360 = 39%.....0.39(18,000,000) = 7,020,000
Italy : 40/360 = 11%....0.11(18,000,000) = 1,980,000
France : 60/360 = 17%....0.17(18,000,000) = 3,060,000
U.S.A : 120/360 = 33%...0.33(18,000,000) = 5,940,000
