Math Problem Statement
What could be the equation of the polynomial p(x) given the graph?
Solution
To determine which of the given options represents the correct equation for the polynomial , we can analyze the graph:
-
Identify the roots:
The graph crosses the x-axis at three points, which means the polynomial has three real roots. The approximate x-intercepts (roots) are:- (crosses at the origin)
This suggests that the factors of (
