What is the factorization of the polynomial graphed below? Assume it has no constant factor.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wheres the graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i attach it lol

myininaya (myininaya):

scan and then attach it by using the attach a file box below this box

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im trying what do you mean scan

Illiterate computer person on OpenStudy. Lawl.

myininaya (myininaya):

describe the graph

myininaya (myininaya):

where are the x intercepts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im trying hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there it is if u can see it sorry

myininaya (myininaya):

this is a parabola so it has degree 2 and it touches the x axis twice; it touches x=0 and x=4. x=4 implies x-4 is a factor and x=0 implies x is a factor so the equation of the parabola is f(x)=x(x-4) this is a polynomial having degree 2 just like a parabola should have

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x(x-4) is the equation of the polynomial. so expanded form would be x^2 - 4x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you guys so much

myininaya (myininaya):

np

myininaya and laxad are perfectly correct.
