Question

For the graph attached inside, what is a possible solution?

**answer choices also attached inside...

:)

Answer 1

graph!

Answer 2

The solutions are the x values where the graph crosses the x axis.

Answer 3

answer choices A,B,C,D,E from top to bottom :)

**at first i thought it was A... but then I saw that they have choices with ^2 as well... i forget.. if it curves a certain way, it becomes cubed right? :/ not sure though...

Answer 4

so the x values would be -1, 1 and 5 right?

so (x+1)(x-1)(x-5) ?

Answer 5

If a factor is squared, that indicates a double root which corresponds to a point of tangency to the x axis.

Answer 6

So looking at your graph, it looks like -1 is a root, 1 is a double root and 5 is a root.

Answer 7

ohhh okay i see... so the solution should be this?

g(x)=-k (x+1)(x-1)^2(x-5) ?

Answer 8

Why would it be -k?

Answer 9

because it's moving down? :/ or did I confuse it? :/

Answer 10

oh yes. I looked at it again. I see. it is -
