I really need help, will medal + fan. Thank you! Let a, b, and c be real numbers where a, b, and C aren't equal to 0. Which of the following functions could represent the graph below? A. f(x) = x^2(x – a)^2(x – b)^4(x – c) B. f(x) = x^3(x – a)^3(x – b)(x – c)^2 C. f(x) = x^4(x – a)(x – b)3(x – c)^3 D. f(x) = (x – a)^2(x – b)(x – c)^6

i think you forgot some signs, unless theres no addition between the polynomials

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is none.

OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):

ah kk good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how to graph it in the form it's in.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

count the humps so we can see that this is a 7th order polynomial right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I can see the turning points lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well not the humps the number of times it changes direction so its 7th order lol and then you wanna make sure you have an x^7th when all is said and done

OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):

it will behave mostly as its biggest degree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, it would be D?
