The graph you uploaded appears to be a quadratic function. To find the factored form of the equation of a quadratic, we need to use the x-intercepts and the vertex.

From the graph:

• The x-intercepts (roots) are $(0, 0)$ and $(6, 0)$.
• The vertex is $(3, 3)$, which gives us the peak of the parabola.

The factored form of a quadratic equation is:

$y = a(x - r_1)(x - r_2)$

where $r_1$ and $r_2$ are the x-intercepts.

Step 1: Using the x-intercepts

The intercepts are $(0, 0)$ and $(6, 0)$, so the equation becomes:

$y = a(x - 0)(x - 6) = a x (x - 6)$

$y = a x (x - 6)$

Step 2: Using the vertex to solve for $a$

Substitute the vertex $(3, 3)$ into the equation to solve for $a$:

$3 = a (3)(3 - 6)$ $3 = a (3)(-3)$ $3 = -9a$ $a = -\frac{1}{3}$

Step 3: Final equation

Now that we know $a = -\frac{1}{3}$, the factored form of the quadratic equation is:

$y = -\frac{1}{3}x(x - 6)$

This is the factored form of the quadratic equation based on the graph.

Tip:

When identifying the factored form of a quadratic equation, always start by locating the x-intercepts, then use the vertex to find the value of $a$.
